  • 23 AUG-2 SEPT 2018 Elke Keer Als Noorderzon Opkomt, Verschijnt Het Licht Van Mark Yeoman
    23 AUG-2 SEPT 2018 Elke keer als Noorderzon opkomt, verschijnt het licht van Mark Yeoman. Zelf zal hij om zo’n observatie glimlachen, want hij is ook maar bij toeval begonnen, niet om doelbewust te verschijnen als hemellichaam in de atmosfeer van Groningen. Dat het aantrekkingskracht was, zal Mark niet ontkennen, integendeel. Onaangekondigd landde hij op een magische dag in de stad met zowat theaterbagage uit andere verten, zonder de wil om er ook weer ongemerkt te vertrekken. Hij voelde dat Groningen hem mogelijk zocht en dat het de plaats was om te blijven en een eigen festivaluniversum te scheppen, vol elementen uit een oneindig galactica. Om die elementen draait Noorderzon, zal Mark zeggen, niet om hem. Daar heeft hij gelijk in. Maar het kan niet zonder hem, als onvermoeibare sterrenplukker in een perfecte Groningse Brexit. Eerst was er Oerol. Als rondreizende culturele hobo voor NOS-Radio1 koesterde ik het Terschellinger locatiefestival als opperste bestemming naar een langwerpige waddenplaneet. Het was in de vorderende jaren negentig. Destijds maakten ruim 50.000 mensen de overtocht. Ze kwamen uit heel Nederland. Zo was het niet met Noorderzon. Mijn goede Groninger collega Eric Nederkoorn opperde begin deze eeuw tijdens Oerol dat in Noorderzon ook een reportage voor Radio 1 zat. Sindsdien ben ik vijftien Noorderzon-bezoeken verder. Het was goed om het festival bekendheid te geven buiten Groningen, samen met een paar krantencollega’s. Het heeft nog niet geleid tot tienduizenden bezoekers extra uit heel het land. Ik weet dat Mark Yeoman en algemeen directeur Femke Eerland en de hele staf daar niet bijzonder mee zitten.
