It is one of the most beautiful questions I have ever heard, and it has walked alongside me ever since. It is the starting point of this musical narrative.\u201d \u2013 Marlies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ice symbolizes the protective, hardened outer layer of ourselves. What emerges when that top layer melts? When we allow what is frozen within us to thaw? When we dare to let go of what we may be clinging to desperately. What waters, layers of earth and colors reveal themselves?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And how does it sound? Is it a sound from the past? From deeply hidden parts of ourselves, from that which must remain concealed? A sound of resistance, or a sound of the future? A voice full of longing? For something new that can come into being? A sound\u2014of rebirth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past years, Marlies has traveled on foot through various countries. At four kilometers per hour across vast Spanish landscapes, walking through mystical Iceland, and meandering through New York and unexplored Central Asia. She draws inspiration from different cultures, people, colors, and rituals\u2014Marlies feels at home in the unknown. In this musical narrative, she embraces the richness of these diverse sources of inspiration as well as her own artistic versatility, ultimately allowing everything to melt together into a musical narrative about identity, transformation, stretching boundaries, and discovering new territories within yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expect a hyper-musical, colorful, and energetic performance in which music, language, and design merge into a unique theatrical ritual.<br><br><em>\u201cMaybe the journey isn\u2019t about becoming anything. <br>Maybe it\u2019s about unbecoming everything that isn\u2019t really you, <br>so that you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Paulo Coelho<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-media\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Showreel Marlies Ruigrok (2025)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vlhNmnAC1r0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Marlies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who has ever seen a performance by Marlies comes back. Her impressive singing voice, captivating storytelling, and warm, inviting interaction with the audience make her performances unmissable. Marlies\u2019s work is infused with a longing for an intense experience of life. She has a distinctive style of creating theatre music at the crossroads of contemporary world music, pop, and chanson, with incisive lyrics. It is dynamic, poetic, inquisitive, and always intimate. With her graduation performance, Marlies won the Entree Prize at Festival Boulevard. In recent years she created and performed the successful site-specific productions <em>De Kleur Oranje<\/em> and <em>Sobremesa<\/em> in collaboration with Makershuis Alkmaar\/Karavaan, where she is a resident maker. She also released her EP <em>Papel<\/em>, which attracted the attention of Dutch radio stations such as NPO Radio 1 and 5. <em>The Sound of Ice<\/em> is the third (autonomous) part of Marlies\u2019s trilogy on transformation and also her debut in the theatre hall. Previously, Marlies sang in various international projects, including The Kyteman Orchestra, Collectief Wunderbaum, Paco Pe\u00f1a, and Het Muziek (formerly Asko|Sch\u00f6nberg Ensemble).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Credits<\/strong><br>By and with Marlies Ruigrok<br>Director: Ruut Weissman<br>Multi-instrumentalist: TBA<br>(Lyric) texts: Antoine Uitdehaag, Marlies Ruigrok, et al.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>De Klank van Ijs<\/em> is a co-production with Makershuis Alkmaar\/Karavaan and is created within the framework of <strong>Oproer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17588,"template":"","class_list":["post-16472","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Marlies Ruigrok - De Klank van IJs - Explore the North<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/explorethenorth.nl\/en\/event\/marlies-ruigrok-de-klank-van-ijs\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Marlies Ruigrok - De Klank van IJs - Explore the North\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A musical, personal and intimate theatre performance by and with Marlies Ruigrok \u201c\u2018What do you think the sound of ice...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/explorethenorth.nl\/en\/event\/marlies-ruigrok-de-klank-van-ijs\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Explore the North\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-12-19T10:27:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/explorethenorth.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Campagnebeeld-De-Klank-van-IJs-Marlies-Ruigrok-dec25-1-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1496\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/explorethenorth.nl\\\/en\\\/event\\\/marlies-ruigrok-de-klank-van-ijs\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/explorethenorth.nl\\\/en\\\/event\\\/marlies-ruigrok-de-klank-van-ijs\\\/\",\"name\":\"Marlies Ruigrok - De Klank van IJs - Explore the North\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/explorethenorth.nl\\\/en\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/explorethenorth.nl\\\/en\\\/event\\\/marlies-ruigrok-de-klank-van-ijs\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/explorethenorth.nl\\\/en\\\/event\\\/marlies-ruigrok-de-klank-van-ijs\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/explorethenorth.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/12\\\/DKVIJ-Marlies-Ruigrok-door-Tim-Weerdenburg-web.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-12-19T10:20:05+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-12-19T10:27:18+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/explorethenorth.nl\\\/en\\\/event\\\/marlies-ruigrok-de-klank-van-ijs\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/explorethenorth.nl\\\/en\\\/event\\\/marlies-ruigrok-de-klank-van-ijs\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/explorethenorth.nl\\\/en\\\/event\\\/marlies-ruigrok-de-klank-van-ijs\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/explorethenorth.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/12\\\/DKVIJ-Marlies-Ruigrok-door-Tim-Weerdenburg-web.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/explorethenorth.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/12\\\/DKVIJ-Marlies-Ruigrok-door-Tim-Weerdenburg-web.jpg\",\"width\":1552,\"height\":2200},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/explorethenorth.nl\\\/en\\\/event\\\/marlies-ruigrok-de-klank-van-ijs\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/explorethenorth.nl\\\/en\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Evenementen\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/explorethenorth.nl\\\/en\\\/event\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Marlies Ruigrok &#8211;
