Space is the Place: Polletje Pallieter + Danny Saul

Wednesday, January 13, 20:30, entrance € 10 / CvA €6

POLLETJE PALLIETER (English below)
Polletje Pallieter consists of two duo’s: Henk Bakker and Lukas Simonis (The X Static Tics) from Rotterdam, and Bart Maris/Sylvie de Paul from Ghent.

Combining texts from Flemish writer Felix Timmermans’ ‘Pallieter’ and ‘Polletje Piekhaar’, by Rotterdammer Willem van Iependaal, the musicians create something akin to a radio play, sometimes sung, sometimes in the form of spoken word. These text are accompanied by a musical landscape, encompassing anything between old songs, ambient soundscapes, and improvisation.
