By means of anecdotes, poems and
WWI war songs, Guy Verlinde
makes the link to today and discusses the
challenges and threats that we
as a society are grappling with, such as the
war in Ukraine and Gaza, the
refugee crisis, fake news ...
In addition, the audience is introduced to
important historical dissenting voices
such as Siegfried Sassoon, Martin Luther
King & Nelson Mandela. And his
protest songs and those of, among others, Bob Dylan show
the power of music and poetry as
a means of resistance against armed
conflicts. All songs are sung in
Dutch!
