(Amsterdam, 1981) is an actress, host and stand-up comedian. In 2006 the magazine BLVD declared her one of the most promising women in the Netherlands. Soundos el Ahmadi received national renown in her role as the Moroccan farm girl Aïsha in the film Shouf Shouf Habibi. After secondary school she went to drama school for a while, but left it prematurely to make her own theatrical productions and to become a stand-up comedian. Without any experience she made it to the finale of the stand-up comedy tournament of the Amsterdam Kleinkunst Festival and joined Toomlers almost immediately. As one of the latest members of the Comedytrain she makes fun of her Amsterdam-Moroccan origin and social biases. Right now she tours the country with The Girls' Night Out.

(Belgium, 1976) in 2007 won the Herman de Coninck prize for best poetic debut. The jury called it a ‘dreamed debut’, especially because of the ease with which Moors ‘captures the reader with a strange kind of triviality’, from a gardener in a purple ski suit to rabbits making love. Again and again Moors manages to overturn everyday scenes, e.g. in the last poem in the anthology: ‘Then I came home/I got rid of my heavy bag/in the corridor/you stood there waiting/those were steps/I placed beside you on the floor/one by one/someone bombed a station. Her debut as a novelist, Het verlangen naar een eiland (Longing for an Island), was reviewed in Trouw as a ‘road novel, there's no stopping it’. It is a witty tale of love, sex, grief as well as longing for the other. Moors studied Germanic languages in Ghent and subsequently did the creative writing course at the Rietveldacademie in Amsterdam.

(1986, St Maarten) is one of the most promising young performers of today. UNOM (Untouchable Nobody Outplays Many) grew up on St Maarten as Jörgen Gario. According to him, he was inspired by his creative mother, books on philosophy, J.A. Deelder, wise sayings of Bob Marley, Bill Clinton and Gandhi, love and existentialism. In 2003 he wrote his first songs, exploring his musical and poetic limits. The rap with critical texts is a strong basis, but UNOM likes to push out frontiers. That's why he regularly participates in international musical projects. Late 2009 he took part in Change Beat in Tanzania with young people from all parts of the world played music together. During Winternachten he teams up with Hylke.

performs sporadically with performer UNOM. Their first joint stage experience was with the poets' collective Poetry Circle. Then the two lost sight of each other, but when they met again Hylke took the guitar and they jammed away. Short films of these sessions can be seen on youtube. Meanwhile a year has gone by and they will have their initiation as a duo during Winternachten.
