Writer Gabriëlle Terpstra and poet Remco Kuiper are touring Fryslân with their debut works. During the performances, poetry, prose and music come together in a free, dynamic form. Alongside Terpstra and Kuiper, singer-songwriter ZEA and poets Martsje de Jong and Lubbert Jan de Vries will also take the stage.
In 2025, Terpstra and Kuiper presented their works for the first time: Geller in the artists’ village of Asgaard, and Grûnwetter at theatre De Bres. With this tour, they bring their debuts to a wider audience. The books were well received. Grûnwetter was called a ‘stunningly rich collection’ in the Friesch Dagblad. The Leeuwarder Courant praised the tone as close, distinctive and almost transparent. Geller received praise from the Leeuwarder Courant for the cool, wise way in which the main character’s experiences are described.
The tour is a collaboration with publisher De Ryp.
Dates & locations:
- 29 May, 8:00 PM: Keunstromte H47, Leeuwarden
