Words and soundscapes reverberate through the corridors of DE SINGEL at this musical edition of Radiant Readings. Three poets thread together words to the rhythm of the beat. Like the ebb and flow of the tide, the two art forms create an artistic evening of taking and giving back, rest and unrest, silence and sound.
Take your place in the atrium of the Expo square and allow yourself to be transported by Calya J., Lies Jo Vandenhende and Daniëlle Zawadi.
