Nothing Bigger THan Humanity
NOTHING BIGGER THAN HUMANITY
A musical journalism and collective memory experience exploring what it means to be human
Created by Andrea Voets, Artistic Director of Resonate Productions, Nothing Bigger Than Humanity invites you to feel what it means to be human in today’s world. In this gathering, we revisit recent world history from four continents, told by millennials who witnessed it first hand as children.
By joining this event, you too become a witness to these stories. After each scene, guests are invited to share their thoughts. These reactions decide how each night unfolds.
All voices combined form one big testimony of global power dynamics. Forces that disrupt even the most sincere bonds between humans, leaving people torn between great fear and deep love.
“One of the most beautiful acts of art, journalism and life that I’ve ever seen.”

ABOUT ANDREA VOETS
Andrea Voets is artistic director of Resonate Productions.
In 2018, she became a new maker at De Balie, a prominent venue for contemporary arts, politics and culture in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. This resulted in Wings & Roots (2018) and While We Live (2020). NRC listed this as one of the best productions of that year, calling it a “fascinating new genre”.
In 2022, Andrea made the podcast Millennial History with composer Luke Deane. Podcast-phenomenon Avery Trufelman named it as one of the six best podcasts of the year. That same year, she received the selective Dutch Fast Forward grant.
In November 2025, FOR REAL makes its New York debut at BAM’s Next Wave festival. Also in 2025, Resonate Productions premieres Nothing Bigger Than Humanity: an invitation to feel what it means to be human in today’s world, during a three-hour social gathering.
Andrea obtained her bachelor of harp and philosophy in Amsterdam and her master of harp at the Hanns Eisler conservatory in Berlin, where she has been teaching music philosophy ever since. She is artist-in-residence at O. festival Rotterdam and Festival van Vlaanderen Mechelen, and she is an ISPA-fellow.
