A poetic and musical walking tour in downtown Amsterdam, in the same neighbourhood where once, four centuries ago, the famous Dutch poet Gerbrand Bredero used to walk. The tour has three stops and on each location you can enjoy music in combination with poetry. Stop # 1: jazz by singer Sanne Ragbags and her three musical friends, offering a colorful program with poetic art, compositions with the powerful narrative and melancholy of poetry.
After a short walk there’s # 2, where the young and upcoming poet Hannah van Binsbergen (winner VSB Poëzieprijs) will recite her own work: frank, self assured, casual and composed, alternated by improvisational jazz by saxophonist Mo van der Does. Then it’s # 3, the energetic spoken word performer Babs Gons, she will be taking up the challenge by Eduardo Paredes, the classical violinist who will melt the third violin sonata 'Ballade' by Ysaÿe with the word art by Babs.
And the locations? Well, for now they are kept secret, but we promise you’ll be up to close to the bar…
Kun je vandaag niet? Op dinsdag 14 augustus zijn er ook drie momenten dat je mee kan lopen met Dichter bij de bar.
We vragen je om een kwartier voor vertrektijd aanwezig te zijn.
Dit programma is tot stand gekomen in samenwerking met de Stichting Literaire Activiteiten Amsterdam (SLAA).
