Frank van Pamelen
Words matter. Certainly in the world of Frank van Pamelen. Writer and poet. Columnist and comedian. But above all word artist. On NPO Radio 1, in podcasts and publications, in more and more theaters, on all possible stages he plays a game with the language. He surprises with shapes. He tilts you. And that while policymakers and opinion makers do the same. But then to manipulate power, media and people. He pokes through a talk. With cryptic twists and quirky logic. Inventive songs and powerpoint poetry. About sense and nonsense. Whole and half truths. And invented truths, which seem to breathe the spirit of the times in panting. Frank makes connections and ties points. Places question and exclamation marks. He rhymes and glues together. He weaves a web of words in a virtuoso way. Who ultimately matter.
