Poëziesalon : De stad (v.)

Mel(anie) Asselmans, Emerald Liu en Anke Verschueren - Curatie : Hyster-X

They have been silent for a long time, but on Sunday morning, September 22, Brussels, Ghent, and Antwerp will grab the microphone. The three women will each take the stage to showcase their streets, mimic their inhabitants, undress their monuments, and sing about their dangers. For once, they air their own dirty laundry. They hold the umbrella high to guide their audience with all their senses. Through hidden alleys, over forgotten bridges, past battered homes. For the literary salon De stad (v), Melanie Asselmans, Emerald Liu, and Anke Verschueren (all three members of Hyster-X) will embody the cities where they live, work, dance, wander, sleep, and write. In three sensuous monologues, they give Brussels, Ghent, and Antwerp a female voice. Afterwards, they will have coffee together and discuss how, as young women and young artists, they relate to their own and each other's hometowns.
