Raadhuisstraat
Would you have ever imagined that light and poetry have so much in common? With the poem Oscar Tops wrote especially for GLOW, you’ll discover it for yourself. Poetry and light are elusive. And yet they leave an impression, make an impact, connect people, stir something within your mind and body, and set the mood.
The same applies to both light and poetry: it doesn’t matter where it came from; everyone is welcome to experience it. And everyone is free to do with it as they please. Enjoying a stunning light art installation together during GLOW, along with visual poetry—we can’t imagine a better combination. Read this poem, discuss it with your companion, and carry that feeling with you into the night.
