Traditional Tulip Fertility Dance
Traditional Tulip Fertility Dance (2021) Dutch version
Play Video
What are the spheres of “national” culture where women have power? In this video a young woman supervises a game of musical chairs with men competing for her hand to the music of a traditional children song on the morality of pleasure, money and marriage. Tulips, originally from Turkey, were assimilated by Holland in the feverish period of trade that became the Dutch Golden Age.
