Language sparks - inspiring duos with poetry, music, dance and images

Writers Unlimited likes to make new connections between artists from different disciplines who then create something new together. In this unique, one-off programme Taalvonken, poetry, music and dance enter into dialogue with each other. Three duos present new work they created especially for this festival night at the request of Writers Unlimited. Note: Dutch spoken.
Witness how sparks fly between language and music, and between spoken word and dance. Singer-song poet on guitar Mirte Hartland interacts with poet Benzokarim.
Poet and spoken word artist Rosabelle Illes enters into a dialogue with a new song by cellist, singer and theatre-maker Saartje Van Camp, taken from her new album In De Naam Van, to be released on 24 January.
Poet and spoken-word artist ZaÏre Krieger and dancer Shaquille George find each other in the movements of dance.
Taalvonken is curated for Writers Unlimited Festival 2025 by Ilonka Reintjens.
