South African stand-up comedian Soli Philander was master of ceremonies in the theater's foyer. He presented a number of performing poets, story-tellers, and some young writers. Amongst them were Chandra Doest (Surinamese/Dutch), Louise Wondel (performer/poet from Surinam, writing in Aukan, the language of the Marrons) and the much praised young Dutch poet Ayatollah Musa.
