Language
For 39 Sundays, Filip Rogiers has been reading from Dutch poet Hans Andreus’ collection Sonnetten van de Kleine Waanzin. Each week, in a new location across Brussels, he presents a sonnet, preceded by the work of a "guest poet" and followed by Rogiers' own writing. On Sunday, October 6, he will conclude his Andreus tour on the terrace of Passa Porta, and he invites you to join him.
Rogiers and Andreus
Filip Rogiers, a Brussels-based writer and poet, deeply admires the work of Dutch poet Hans Andreus, especially his sonnet collection Sonnetten van de Kleine Waanzin. Motivated by a selfless love for poetry, Rogiers has spent months sharing these sonnets with others.
The Brussels tour
For 39 weeks, Rogiers has appeared in different locations around Brussels every Sunday at 2 p.m. sharp, reading from Andreus' sonnet collection alongside the works of other writers and his own. As the final sonnets approach, Rogiers will read the 39th and last sonnet on Sunday, October 6, a moment Passa Porta is eager to mark.
Join us!
That’s why we invite you to come to the Passa Porta terrace on Sunday, October 6, at 2pm of course, and take part in our open mic, with your own work, but also with one text that you hold close to your heart. You don’t have your own work, but do have a text you’d like to share? That’s welcome too! You would prefer not to share your favourite poems and prefer listening to someone else’s work? That’s also welcome!
We warmly invite you to the Passa Porta terrace on Sunday, October 6, at 2 p.m., again, for an open mic event. Share your own work, along with a piece of writing that is meaningful to you. If you don’t have any of your own work but still want to participate, feel free to read something you love. And if you’d prefer just to listen, that’s perfectly fine too!

NLDead Ladies Show Marathon
Tien shows op twee dagen. Dertig auteurs + tien zangers + een randprogramma = eindeloos veel ontdekkingen.
Tijdens een schrijfresidentie in Berlijn woonde Gaea Schoeters een evenement bij waarin vrouwen die hun stempel drukten op de geschiedenis de aandacht kregen die ze al veel langer verdienden. Dat moeten we ook doen, dacht ze, en de in 2019 presenteerde ze de eerste Belgische Dead Ladies Show. Intussen zijn we elf edities verder en is het concept een vaste waarde. Tijd om de eerste tien shows te hernemen, en wel allemaal achter elkaar. Schrijf je in voor de enige marathon die je al zittend kan afleggen.
