Anouk Van den Berg (De Gisting, Bureau Pees) works as a director, theatre maker and theatre educator. She prefers to create site-specific theatre about the significance of special, often historic, places for the city. Together with people for whom that place is of great importance or has been. “In doing so, I deliberately choose locations and people who are outside my ‘bubble’. The new, different and unknown: that fascinates me.”

The music of the Breda artist Jean Jacques (Sebas, for those who know him better) is difficult to categorize into a single genre. Yes, it is hip-hop, but it also contains elements of soul, jazz, and pop. Without vocal exaggeration or grand gestures, as authentic and precise as possible. His lyrics reflect on the hustle and bustle of life. And on his personal journey towards a more mindful, slower existence. Without it becoming gloomy. We spoke with him. About big dreams, ‘everything by feel’, and what happens when you decide to go right, where the others go left.
