STICHTING BANDO

BANDO FOUNDATION

The Bando Foundation was established in 2006 by Hans de Groot.

4 different arts serve as models for humanity.

Humans communicate not only by words.

(Theatre or presentation art),

But also by sound (Music art).

With the image that is shown (Visual art),

And with the person being set in motion or shown. (Dance art).

It's actually a fusion of four different forms of art.

 

 

This led Hans, even at art school, to propose an alternative "PLEASE DON'T GET ANGER" (Don't Get Annoyed) with these four art groups in a life-size "PLEASE DON'T GET ANGER" (Don't Get Annoyed) game.

But Hans had also certainly experienced from his work in healthcare that if one of the communication forms fails, the other forms can certainly be of great help.

 

In 2006, Hans had a remarkable encounter with the other side of the world.

He met Hannah, whom he married a year later, as well as numerous remarkable artists.

These two completely different continents presented Hans with the great challenge of establishing the Bando Foundation.

Hannah designed the foundation's two logos,

and together they formed the Bando Foundation.

BANDO COMMUNICATION

For BANDO FOUNDATION communication in REAL LOVE is central.

This REAL LOVE can be expressed through 4 elementary forms of communication.

These are 4 different art forms:

1. Theatre and presentation art – with words Specialist training courses are called, for example: drama school or cabaret academy
2. Music art – the art that focuses on sound, this is a more important form of communication. Of course, it is also about the combination of the different forms of the arts. The meaning of a word can take on a completely different meaning through sound. Specialist training in sound is, for example: the conservatory, but also p[ the cabaret academy (small-scale arts academy in the Netherlands) focuses on music education and then in combination with different forms of art where one also often wants to focus on humor as an important element.
3. Visual arts – this is mainly taught at art academies that are located throughout the country, but you can also think of photography academies.
4. Dance art - movement - Here you also have various specialist training courses such as dance academies, ballet academies, but also the cabaret academy

Through all these arts, the combination of them is often of great importance.

 

THE HUMAN LIFE PURPOSE 

One can imagine “LIVING IN REAL LOVE” as a goal that every person receives.

Man can choose for himself whether he wants to be built up by "True Love". For this it is of great importance that we really accept the existence of "True Love" and do not remain in a hopeless struggle.

THE MYSTERY OF HUMAN LIFE

As a tool I received a small booklet in 2006 with 4 keys that provided a clear explanation.

The 1st key gave me the realization that all people have been given a Real Love in their lives A PURPOSE.

The big goal is: LEARNING TO CHOOSE FOR REAL  LOVE.

THE GREAT MYSTERY

THE 1st KEY

THE FIRST KEY - GOD'S CREATION

UNLOCKING THE MYSTERY OF HUMAN EXISTENCE.

Human life has a mystery that cannot be explained to anyone. We came to earth with a specific purpose that does not have to be immediately clear. Yet it is of the utmost importance to eventually find and understand this purpose.

Because if we do not know our purpose, our life can seem very aimless to man.

And then he can even be faced with very reckless actions

This in relation to himself

or in relation to the other.

Man can even consciously bring his life to an end.

This remains the point where man

often cannot find an explanation for himself

and may be followed by a very abrupt end,

A sudden onset of very great sorrow, as if a man has suddenly come to the end of his life through a collision.

 

And leaves his descendants with very great questions

From the Bible one can get

1. MAN HAS GOD'S IMAGE

(an image that represents real love)

2.  MAN IS A VESSEL

Man can let himself be filled with different influences, but the most important will be to fill himself

with REAL LOVE

 

THE SECOND KEY

THE MOST DIFFICULT KEY
The second key is without a doubt the most difficult. This key indicates that we as humans must CHOOSE

The second key is without a doubt the most difficult. This key indicates that we as humans must choose
between REAL LOVE and HATE.

This may seem very easy, but hardly anyone is able to choose correctly right away.

People are almost always burdened with the wrong choices that people make.

People must want to take this on in order to be able to change it.

We sometimes have to completely efface ourselves and make ourselves subordinate to those less fortunate.

This is really necessary

in order to really be able to place ourselves under REAL LOVE

We can assume that no human being is truly perfect.

We all have to deal with great shortcomings compared to REAL LOVE that is simply perfect.

We will all too often have to go through various tests as humans in order to really get through something. There are few or no possibilities to really be able to continue to exist as a human being without sin.

I read more clarity about the laws of True Love in the 176 verses that are described in the book Psalms 119

THE THIRD KEY

IS THE REDEMPTION OF CHRIST
(OR THAT WHICH REPRESENTS REAL LOVE)
UNLOCKING THE MYSTERY OF THE LIFE AND DEATH OF THE GOD-MAN
WHO IS CHRIST?
Christ is the Savior sent into the world by God to solve the problems of human life.
He is the embodiment of the Triune God
“For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily
(Colossians 2:9)
He is also God incarnate
“The Word was God
…the Word became flesh
and tabernacled among us
…full of grace and reality.”
John 1:1, 14
Therefore He is both the complete God
and the perfect man.

He is more than a good man!
He is more than a great man!
He is more than a moral man!
He is more than a holy man!
He is the God man!
Or to put it another way:
“HE STANDS FOR REAL LOVE”

THE NECESSARY HELP
Real Love noticed how much effort it cost man to start living according to His Real Love. Man clearly needed a very important example. And that is why Real Love decided to come to man personally as an example with the 3rd key.

Of course, Real Love wanted to do this from His own human form. But without sexual intercourse or intercourse and that came to earth as the all-encompassing example. But not alone. He also came in a human form from the desert and together they wanted to stand as the all-encompassing example on earth.

Two female people, namely Mary and Elisabeth, became pregnant in an inexplicable way and this happened without sexual intervention. And it had to happen that way because it was precisely through sexual intervention that man could repeatedly make a mistake. And it should not be about the outer body of man, but about the inner body of man.

Therefore, Real Love chose a woman who had never been pregnant before and therefore had not had sexual intercourse and bore the name MARIA and another woman who simply had never been able to become pregnant and had already reached an advanced age who lived together with a male person who had actually lost his ability to speak before the coming for a son. And the name of that woman was Elizabeth. So they brought forth the 2 parables of Real LOVE. But especially as the human person "Jesus Christ" God came to earth, as the so-called son of Real Love! And both had to give their lives. One by crucifixion, the other by literally chopping off his head and presenting it on a platter.

THE FOURTH KEY

THE FOURTH KEY OF GOD'S OUTRAGE
UNLOCKING THE MYSTERY OF
FAITH IN CHRIST
1) The Two-Becoming of Christ
God became man and was born as a man named Jesus. Read the following verse:
"The Word became flesh and dwelt among us." (John 1:14)
The Lord was called the Spirit, the life-giving Spirit, through His resurrection from the dead.
The Real Love was now not only equal to "Jesus Christ" or "God, the Holy Father," but now also to "The Holy Spirit." (The Holy Trinity)
Read the following verse:
"The last Adam became a life-giving Spirit."
1 Corinthians 15:45
Because this Spirit is the Life-giving Spirit, He dispenses His life to His believers.
God
Incarnation
Crucifixion
Resurrection
Life-Giving Spirit
Therefore the Bible says, “He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have love.” (1 John 5:12)

PASSING ON

VIA THE HOLY SPIRIT

We can assume that true love can come into man through the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

In Christism it is about becoming as much as possible Jesus Christ (REAL LOVE) that you can accept in your spirit and with which you will thus be able to become a bearer of REAL LOVE that can be of great service to very many people! How wonderful it is to really realize this!!!

Water is a project that originated from an artist association “TERRA” that I was a member of in Zoetermeer. I try to portray water in very diverse art forms. First of all, I choose a moving song as a background. You see playing with water, water as a diluent to inoculate small children with. The tears that come out as tears (a lot of water) when in pain or sorrow. In order to make building blocks (Hollowblocks), special sand had to be dug from the river. For this, boys dived to the bottom all day to bring up the river sand. Dancing after playing football to be able to show each other a movement. When it rains, you see the water sliding along the windows. Fragments of this film were used for an exhibition in the city of Voorburg in the Netherlands.

From the theme of trust we show what is difficult to express in words. This film starts with a unique recording of the Fries Orchestra in which my father (Hans de Groot sr) plays the flute in the FLUTE AND HARP CONCENT BY MOZART.

Then I come to a special orchestra in Amsterdam that I once met on an open studio day. I ask a few people from the orchestra for their opinion about the word TRUST.

Then a special piece of music from CHANA by a group with whom I have also been able to make personal contact.

But then I move on to the Philippines where I found my new congregation in 2006, an uncle visited the house where I had just arrived for the second time.

I woke up from a short rest from a long flight (more than 17 hours) when I heard cheerful sounds downstairs.

It is an experience that I will never forget and could give me a familiar feeling of coming home.

Then on the subject of "TRUST" I interview my new uncle who is of Roman Catholic descent. He reacted somewhat surprised when I asked him if trust also had something to do with God. The following shot is of a Hague choreographer Tom Stuart, of the well-known Hague dance group DDD-Devision) to whom I asked the same question. See: The DDDD Ballet Black & White 2019 trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzCyFeu9bRE 

Then I turn to a leader of a music group from the Philippines, a group that also does a lot with dance.

Then I interview a visual artist friend from the Philippines about the subject of trust.

I also ask him for his opinion on the subject of trust. When do you trust someone and when not.

He then refers to the text of the Dutch painter "Vincent van Gogh" that he had hanging above his gallery in Dipolog-city.

The text is: “Art is not something that is made by hand. It is something that draws from a deeper source in our soul.” (by Vincent van Gogh)

Then I film one of the most popular young musicians of that time and that is no one more or more than Janine Jansen

(see also: Janine Jansen - Méditation from "Thaïs”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SLqzpy4CIM )

And then the most famous soldier of faith of that time in the Netherlands who I was allowed to interview about the subject of “trust” and that was Major Bosshardt.

Her text: When you talk about trust,

I assume that I trust everyone and find them trustworthy.

And if I ever find out that this is not the case, then I keep a special eye on them, but I assume that everyone is trustworthy.

I actually trust everyone. There are people who assume that no one is trustworthy, but I don’t have that at all.

My question: “And does trust also have something to do with God?”

Her answer: Trust of course also has to do with the fact that I am a creature of God, of God’s lineage, that is even Biblical.

And I think that all people always want the good.

Of course, every person is a being of God's race, searching and groping to see if he will find God in his life.

But I have to say: there is also one who is not reliable,

but I have not had much trouble with it.

Then a recording of my former singing teacher NELLECO AALDERS.

She is a very special singer who was often asked to perform and I always found it wonderful that she sang 1 special song at both weddings and funerals and that is also a very special song with a beautiful melody.

A song that has been able to mean trust for many people. I am still very grateful to her that I was able to record this piece of film of her.

And finally a piece of the performance of Atonga Zimba, which I had already heard before, but then with a closing word in which he also talks about God. Followed by a dance that people wanted to dance for me.

At the end I show the text:

The trust project is still going on.

We interviewed many more people.

Like important translators who told us the stories.

We all grow up with familiar stories.

And often we could only understand a little bit of it.

Because if we really want to understand the stories well, we need a really good translation in the right perspective.

With a good translation we have to be able to recognize the point in our own body in order to then be able to process it well.

So this is never just with words, but also a translation that is really good for us to let work through.

So this with the right colors, the right sound and the right movement and the understanding of (the word) LOVE that we can really learn to understand and trust.

I have largely funded my social work myself with the Bando Foundation.  The foundation has already worked extensively in the Philippines for underprivileged children. I regularly visited the orphanage of Dipolog (Philippines)
