Camerata Trajectina

The Ter Borch family had no shortage of talent: Gerard senior and junior were known as great painters in 17th-century Zwolle. And daughter Gesina (‘Geesken’) was also trained in the arts. However, her career ended abruptly after the death of her brother Moses.

We visit the watercolourist in a sensational animated film, directed by Wim Trompert and provided with live music by Camerata Trajectina. We see Geesken in all her artistic bravado but also in her vulnerability, doubts and tragedy.
