And all these years we thought we were covering the whole array of arts… Until this participant reminded us we had forgotten one: poetry. In the past decade, Dutch poetry has stopped collecting dust on the bookshelves and started kicking butt on stage! Don’t believe us? Come check out the Incubate Poetry nights at Het Buitenbeentje on September 12 and 13, and get a slice of what’s happening. From Gijs ‘The Godfather of Poetry Slam’ ter Haar to the ‘up and coming’ winners of the Open Source Poetry project. From the manic performance of ACG Vianen to the subtle sentences of Barbara Beckers. Top that of with some ‘spoken word techno’ from Trancegezelschap BOT and the sonic escapades of SP!T, and your view on literature might never be the same. You might even want to read a book afterwards…
