Together with our friends from Zinnig Zuiden in Den Bosch, we created a brand new event. We proudly present: Smoken Word! Smoken Word is an evening filled with poets, rappers, word artists, songwriters and other language enthusiasts. Here, we put well-known and unknown talent from the south in the spotlight. In short: a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the diversity of spoken word in the region.
Whether you like to write, read, listen or speak: everyone is welcome on April 24, 2025 at 20:00 for the first edition on the Spoorlaan in Tilburg. Whether you're a spoken word virgin or a diehard fan, the door is open and admission is free!
The program includes:
George Kush:
George Kush comes home in a retrospective: in his lyrics, the magnifying glass is focused on him. Accompanied by his own productions, he knows how to touch the right chord every time. In his music, hip-hop, alternative and cabaret meet. With shows at WooHah, the Melkweg and many other venues and festivals, the quirky musician knows how to take his audience along, capture them and release them at exactly the right time.
Jasja Renne:
Jasja Renne is a creator whose medium is the word. Fascinated by our transience, raison d'être and way of life, she explores in the ongoing chaos of life what connects us, but also what drifts us further apart. With her work, she hopes to confront what we systematically sweep away and get to where we'd rather not go, but perhaps should be.
And more!
