dit komt er

In de wei grazen de schapen in hun mooie, witte trui. In de poel liggen de varkens. Ze rollen door de modder. Dan zit er opeens een lammetje in de modder. Dat vinden de schapen en de varkens maar raar. 'Ik ben een varkentje,' zegt het lam. Dat is toch gek? Of niet?

Simon Mulder will present some of the most interesting poems of the time by sometimes forgotten poets: Lord Alfred Douglas, Olive Custance, Ernest Dowson, Algernon Charles Swinburne and Wilfrid Scawen Blunt. After discussion, we get to work to create our own reflections on the themes that haunted that time as well as ours: what is the purpose of art? How to find beauty? And what can and cannot be said in a poem?

Immerse yourself in the love story of one of the best-loved writers in the English language and his misunderstood lover with poetry, song, and prose in 'Two Loves', a performance on the life and works of Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas, 'Bosie' for friends. At the hight of their rupturous love affair, Wilde was incarcerated for gross indecency. What happened before, during and after this pivotal moment in both their lives? Feest der Poëzie collective will show you with song and theatre.
