AABZ '25 TOUR: JA EN NEE - Abel van Gijlswijk
In these polarized times, Abel van Gijlswijk breaks with black and white thinking. No polder, no gray compromises: yes and no. A random curated anthology with stories from anarchist Zen Buddhism to drop shippers.
He leads the only Dutch punk band that matters. His solo work is iconic. And his theater tours are just as sold out as legendary. The book he is writing will change lives. But that does not define him as a person. With typically Dutch modesty, Abel says: "I am a bag of skin full of organs, bones, blood and good intentions."
