Together with Poetry International, we look back on a special, unforgettable evening: on Thursday 12 June, Conny Janssen Danst opened the poetry festival in Theater Zuidplein (Rotterdam) with a one-off, poetic translation of the performance ZIEL.
Every year, Poetry International brings together the most renowned poets for lectures, conversations, workshops, interviews, debates and performances during the festival. During the opening programme on 12 June – the eve of the three-day festival – dance and poetry came together in Theater Zuidplein with nine dancers from Conny Janssen Danst and sixteen top poets from all over the world on stage.
Photographer Rosa Quist was present and captured the evening on camera. Look back with us on this unique experience.
