Poetry to the Power of Two

Poetry International kicks off the festivalweekend on Thursday night the 6th of June with a unique poetry production in which some of the best (inter-)national poets in the world will be on the same stage at the same time, a one-time occurrence. Every year, Poetry International invites a different director to – inspired by the theme of the festival – create a special theatrical setting for the program. This year, director Puck van Dijk, in collaboration with Sebastiaan Smink, will bring the poets together on stage in a new setting. 

Within 60 minutes, you will get to know the (inter)national poets of the festival, be able to choose your favorites and create your own route for the festival based on this first sneak peek!

Participating poets: Asmaa Azaizeh, Victoria Chang, Felix Chow, Iva Damjanovski, Carl-Christian Elze, Gary Geddes, Lieke Marsman, Neeltje Maria Min, Samira Negrouche, Maria do Rosário Pedreira, Alfred Schaffer, Sigbjørn Skåden, Eva Rún Snorradóttir, Toni Giselle Stuart, Kéchi Nne Nomu, Luís Lima, Astrid Lampe, Oksana Stomina and Boaz Blume.
