In an intimate setting, you lean back relaxed and let yourself be carried away by the unique language of words and images of Joke van Leeuwen. Her poetry tells, observes, and embraces you like a warm coat. At the same time, the music of Nabou Claerhout seeks a continuous dialogue with the words – sometimes a playful echo, sometimes an unexpected counter-voice, sometimes a driving force that carries the language further.
To the sounds of a jazz trombone, universal life questions are lifted, zeitgeist and worldviews drift by. Playful and sharp-witted, light-footed and accurate. Because no matter how heavy life sometimes is, hope remains, and the urge to continue always sounds through.
