Saturday Night Wintercafé
The foyer of the Theater aan het Spui is the beating heart of the festival. At the Saturday Night Wintercafé, writers encounter the public and vice versa. Host and festival guide Francis Broekhuijsen guides your way through the program. Together with his guests he creates an inviting, homey atmosphere.
Of course you can just relax and chat in the Wintercafé over a drink and a bite. Music is provided by multi-instrumentalist Michalis Cholevas and by DJ Socrates. You can meet the writers during their signing sessions at the Van Stockum Bookshop. The Cultural Press Centre reports on the proceedings -- stop by and share your impressions of the festival!
