An interactive journey

In search for a book by the writer you have discovered tonight, sit and talk with other festival goers, or just recovering from it all. That's what the theatre's foyer is for.

DJ Jan plays music and writers sign their work in the bookshop.

Visual artist Valerie van Leersum and composer Gerco Aerts built an interactive installation in the foyer. They invite the visitors to travel to Surinam, Morocco and Indonesia with them. Listen to stories of a country left behind, a journey, future and desires, family and traditions.
