Concise, dryly comic, and sharp verses set to percussion. That is the approach of ‘Poetry meets Percussion’, a musical-literary evening dedicated to the interplay between three percussionists and three writers. Sihame Haddioui, Vieze Meisje, and Loucka E. Fiagan write combatively and wittily. Their lyrics are deeply rooted in metropolitan life and cast a keen eye on the absurdity of the everyday, without losing sight of larger, damaging systems – such as the all-consuming productivity drive and racism. For this occasion, they join forces with percussionists, and together, they bring text and percussion into dialogue. Haddioui performs in French, Vieze Meisje in Dutch, and Loucka E. Fiagan in English.
