Tickets Normal € 21,-
In ARENDS, the Poezieboys and the punk-poetic theater group ECHO welcome you to a miserly, skinny, self-sabotaging, but also playful and humorous evening about poet Jan Arends. Together they create a performance full of poetry, personal stories, swear words, nightly phone calls 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, mental suffering and the feeling of not belonging anywhere. Arends was not an easy man: sharp, unpredictable and difficult, but behind his anger and impotence was also a diep hurt man.
With poetry, stories and theatrical outbursts, Anna Schoen, Joep Hendrikx and Jos Nargy dive into his work and his world.

About theater group ECHO
Theatergroep ECHO is a punk-poetic company that makes raw, absurdist and activist theater. Their work explores the boundaries of what is comfortable and questions how people relate to a world that increasingly demands control and social engineering. With alienation, humor and poetry, ECHO breaks open fixed ways of thinking and appeals to the audience's empathy. They made the multi-year study BUNKER and the small theater performance HOOPJE MENS, among others .
About the Poezieboys
The Poezieboys (Jos Nargy and Joep Hendrikx) create energetic and disruptive poetry performances in which literature, performance and music come together. Inspired by Simon Vinkenoog's legendary poetry evening in Carré (1966), they investigate why poetry so rarely causes a steaming hall these days. With their performances and the Poeziebar, they bring poets together in a lively setting. They previously made GEESTEN, LORCA and PEREC and performed at various festivals and venues across the country.
