Salon des Mots - Season Premiere! Saturday October 10, 8pm Atelier de Werkvloer, Utrecht Salon des Mots is gearing up for the new poetry season. To start, we have a new location in the heart of Utrecht, Atelier de Werkvloer! We decided to get back to the roots of Salon des Mots, which began five years ago in an Oudegracht atelier. Originally the salon was conceived of poets, performance artists, musicians and guests mingling in the intimate setting of candles, sculptures and paintings. Our new gallery location is the perfect venue where different cultures, languages and genres will mesh resulting in a totally unique poetry show. Our first show on Saturday, October 10th has a strong Paris presence, with jazz pianist Jobic Le Masson (FR) and percussionist John Betsch (US) as well as resident poets Jennifer K. Dick (US), Amy Hollowell (US), Rufo Quintavalle (UK) and Arubian/Argentinean writer, Arturo Desimone (AW). Entrance: free. More info... |

More info: www.atelier9en40.nl Hybrid Eyes / Dubbele Ogen October 21-24, 8pm RozenTheater, Amsterdam A performance by Esther Mugambi. Kenya and I. We are like former lovers who don't remember sleeping together. A childhood in Kenya has left Esther Mugambi wondering what kind of woman she might have been if she had stayed there. Inspired by East African VJs who translate foreign films into local languages in a highly subjective way, Mugambi mediates a visual trip between Nairobi and Amsterdam, adding her own commentary to splice reality and fiction. Playing with the fickleness of memory, she creates a world that speaks sharply about a country that has come into focus recently thanks to Obama's heritage and the violence following Kenya's presidential elections. More info: www.mugambi.com Waterstone's: Monthly Book Group First Wednesday of each month, 7:30pm Waterstone's, Amsterdam Titles are chosen by the group. We are a lively bunch of all ages and nationalities and we have a great time! Wine and nibbles plus private shopping time for group members make this a good night out!
