Spoken Maik #9 feat. Dave De Rose

For the ninth and final Spoken Maik of the season, multi-instrumentalist Dave De Rose is invited to accompany 10 performers with improvisational drums and bass in the second part of the evening. For the first part, entries are registered as in previous Spoken Maik evenings, i.e. at KET half an hour before the start (19:30). Each act can last up to 5 minutes.

Spoken Maik is a meeting of poetry and spoken word. Open to all poetic forms and all languages, Spoken Maik has so far hosted recitations, performances and readings in Greek, English, Norwegian, Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic, Russian, French, Serbian, Ukrainian and the Galician language of Spain. The genres are equally varied: slam, spoken word, poetry, rap, manifestos, personal stories, news clips shaped in the manner of documentary poetry.

The Spoken Maik community is always supportive, offering a safe and intimate space that allows all individuals to try, often for the first time, to share their poetry in public.

🔶 Dave De Rose is a percussionist, bassist and multi-instrumentalist, member of Electric Jalaba and Rave At Your Fictional Borders. With his independent label DDR Records, he explores improvisation and experimental music, and his Agile Experiments project has been included in the British Library’s Sound Archive.
