How does it feel to finally pursue a dream after years of waiting? For Rogier Kappers, it means pouring his time, energy and determination into an extraordinary ambition: building a glass organ and introducing the world to the delicate music of dozens of singing glasses.
Glass, My Unfulfilled Life is a warm and humorous portrait of a man driven by an unlikely passion. From building his first glass organ and securing a long-awaited autograph from his idol to enduring a disastrous trip to Dubai and watching his holiday home fall apart, Rogier’s path is anything but straightforward. Yet through hope, disappointment and more than a few unexpected turns, his determination remains intact as he works towards a surprising grand finale.
Following the screening, Rogier will step out from behind the screen and onto the stage to perform live on the instrument at the heart of his story. More than a concert, the performance marks the fulfilment of a lifelong ambition and gives the audience the chance to experience its unique music for themselves.
Join us for an evening where documentary and live performance come together, filled with music, gentle humour and a moving reminder that some ambitions are worth the wait.
