Her latest performance <em>OAK<\/em> is a magical journey through the realm of the soul, in which trees, animals and stones tell their stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through songs, spoken word and storytelling, she weaves together with sound artist Sytze Pruiksma an ingenious musical landscape \u2013 sometimes edgy and contemporary, sometimes with the incantatory cadence of an ancient ritual. In an atmospheric setting of analogue video, Nynke examines and reflects our Western worldview in a tender, humorous way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, Laverman and Pruiksma have been making adventurous, atmospheric music with poetic lyrics in Frisian and English for over 20 years. After <em>Plant<\/em> (2021), a compelling album described by the press as hypnotic, she builds with <em>OAK<\/em> on what she has sown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nynke finds her inspiration in cultures that live in harmony with their surroundings, such as the Kazakh nomads in Mongolia. Their view of the world, in which everything is connected to everything, became the thread running through her work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":23827,"parent":0,"menu_order":412,"template":"","agenda_activity":[344,107,27],"agenda_language":[557,243,111],"class_list":["post-23830","agenda","type-agenda","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","agenda_activity-spoken-word-en","agenda_activity-performance","agenda_activity-concert-en-2","agenda_language-fries-en","agenda_language-dutch-en","agenda_language-english"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Nynke Laverman \u2013 Oak - Leeuwarden City of Literature<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Nynke Laverman presents OAK: magical journey through the realm of the soul with songs, spoken word and storytelling.
