Apéro Poëzie with Frans Van der Aa and Yasmin Namavar - Poetry Center and deAuteurs

Welcome to Apéro Poëzie! Acteur Tijmen Govaerts and writer Hans Depelchin guide you through an inspiring morning full of poetry, music, and stimulating conversations. In this episode, they host actor and director Frans Van der Aa, who can be seen at TAZ in "Papillon," a distant nod to the world-famous book by Henri Charrière. Papillon is about playing together, learning to be bored, and secretly escaping. Dichter Yasmin Namavar joins them with her collection "verblijf" (stay), with which she is nominated for the Poetry Debut Prize 2026. Strandjutter Aaron Fabrice de Kisangani talks about special finds he came across on the North Sea beach. Pitou Nicolaes provides the music. As a closing, we raise a glass to poetry together!
