(The Netherlands) is singer-song poet on guitar. Juggling sung and spoken word, guitar and vocals, she explores where music and poetry reinforce each other. Solo and in collaboration with makers from other disciplines. Her work consists of a carefully composed collage of atmospheres and images with melancholic undertones. Her work deals with themes such as radical equality, queer love, the relationship between man and nature and the beauty of the everyday. From personal vulnerability, she relates to social issues. Mirte has written, created and performed at the intersection of poetry and music for venues and festivals as diverse as Oerol, Lowlands and De Parade.

    Language sparks - inspiring duos with poetry, music, dance and images

    Writers Unlimited likes to make new connections between artists from different disciplines who then create something new together. In this unique, one-off programme Taalvonken, poetry, music and dance entered into dialogue with each other. Three duos presented new work they created especially for this festival night at the request of Writers Unlimited. Note: Dutch spoken.

    You witnessed how sparks flew between language and music, and between spoken word and dance. Singer-song poet on guitar Mirte Hartland interacted with poet Benzokarim.

    Poet and spoken word artist Rosabelle Illes entered into a dialogue with a new song by cellist, singer and theatre-maker Saartje Van Camp, taken from her new album In De Naam Van, released during this festival edition on 24 January 2025.

    Poet and spoken-word artist ZaÏre Krieger and dancer Shaquille George found each other in the movements of dance.

    Taalvonken was curated for Writers Unlimited Festival 2025 by Ilonka Reintjens.
