Raw performances filled with energy and conviction, both personal and socially critical—that’s what you can expect from Hoge Woorden, Friesland’s newest hit stage for Spoken Word. Featuring a unique mix of northern voices and national Word Artists, talents both well-known and emerging.
Hoge Woorden takes place four times a year. Presented and curated by Marrit Jellema alongside many other Spoken Word Artists. At the end of the evening, there is also a place for you during the Open Mic!
Hoge Woorden is presented through Leeuwarden UNESCO City of Literature and Explore the North in collaboration with Marrit Jellema, Poet Laureate of Leeuwarden 2024-2026.
