ARENDS - De Poezieboys & theatergroep ECHO

Theater en toneel

In ARENDS the Poezieboys and the punk-poetic theater group ECHO welcome you to a stingy, lean, self-sabotaging, but also playful and humorous evening about poet Jan Arends. Together they create a performance full of poetry, personal stories, swear words, late-night telephone conversations and absurd fantasy worlds.

Jan Arends was one of the most uncompromising voices in Dutch literature. In his sober, razor-sharp poems he wrote about loneliness, psychological suffering and the feeling of not belonging anywhere. Arends was not an easy man: sharp, unpredictable and difficult, but behind his anger and inability was also a deeply hurt person.

With poetry, stories and theatrical outbursts, Anna Schoen, Joep Hendrikx and Jos Nargy dive into his work and his world.
