Poetic Resistance with Willie Darktrousers, Martin Rombouts, Maxime Garcia Diaz and Dean Bowen

FIERY DEFIANCE IN WORDS AND SOUND

A fiery cross-pollination and a poetic protest by four young and talented makers. Musician and artist Willie Darktrousers and performers Martin Rombouts, Maxime Garcia Diaz and Dean Bowen have gotten together to create brand-new work on anger and defiance. They're angry and you’ll know it! These rebels will blow you away with their furious interaction between word and sound.

In this theatrical performance, poetry, music and spoken word are used to explore the philosophical side to activism and protest. What does it mean to resist something? Can a poem be a demonstration, or a manifesto a work of art?

Poetic Resistance is an Explore the North production, with special thanks to WORM Rotterdam.
