MA Festival: Peter Verhelst and Jurgen De bruyn: Vuurmond

The word ‘vuurmond’ (muzzle) refers, in its literal meaning, to a part of a weapon. More specifically of large-caliber artillery, such as a cannon or mortar. For the literary and musical evening under that same title it serves as a metaphor: what happens when two renowned names from the arts meet and challenge each other artistically? Dichter Peter Verhelst and lutenist Jurgen De bruyn enter into a dialogue with each other. Anyone familiar with the career of both artists knows that words like ‘idiosyncratic’, ‘poetic’, and ‘adventurous’ are more than appropriate in this context.
