47th Poetry International Festival Rotterdam

May 09, 2016 On 7 June, we'll hold our festive opening program at the Rotterdamse Schouwburg (City Theater), and from the 8th onward, you will have the opportunity to encounter all the poets through various special performances, lectures and debates -- on translation; on poetry's crossovers into film, music and art, including comic strips; and on this year's festival theme, "Newspeak" -- at the Ro Theater and other locations on the Witte de Withstraat. And have high expectations for our collaborations with other Rotterdam organizations for this year's festival -- among them WORM, the Witte de With Art Center, the Kunsthal and the International Film Festival Rotterdam!
