The latest, still ongoing production by De Nieuwe Snaar differs slightly from what the quartet normally does. There is more silence, more testimony, and less routine. 'Courageous' is the word we use to describe it, but the De Smet brothers & co still had to get used to the new theatrical form. This DVD was recorded five months after the start of the tour, so everything runs smoothly. But above all, such a recording brings you much closer to the actors/singers. You can see the looks better, feel the songs better, admire the acrobatics up close. That's no small difference, because De Nieuwe Snaar is a dead honest company that values the art of storytelling, promotes craftsmanship, and after all these years still gets nervous when trying something new. The gentlemen regularly show themselves to be very vulnerable, such as when Jan De Smet sings a cappella about his father.
8.5In the middle of a broadcast about Typhoon Yolanda's initial impact, reporter Jiggy Manicad was faced with the reality that he no longer had communication with his station. They were, for all intents and purposes, stranded in Tacloban. With little option, and his crew started the six hour walk to Alto, where the closest broadcast antenna was to be found. Letting the world know what was happening to was a priority, but they were driven by the need to let their families and friends know they were all still alive. Along the way, they encountered residents and victims of the massive typhoon, and with each step it became increasingly clear just how devastating this storm was. This was a storm that was going to change lives.
