Turbo trip through the spirit of the times
How are people really doing? What’s simmering beneath the surface? And is there still room to dream? In Kamikaze Copilot, Kern Koppen pushes the boundaries of spoken word once again. With fire, poet Guus van der Steen spits an idiosyncratic mix of poetically wrapped anecdotes, gritty raps, and poetic analyses out into the world. An investigation of the spirit of the times — but one you can definitely nod your head to. Sitting still is not an option with the crackling hip-hop beats the collective brings to the stage.
Kern Koppen previously found national success with the production STOMP. With this theater debut, the ‘Turbotalk family’ also forged a new genre by mixing spoken word with radio play–style samples. So fasten your seatbelts for more theater innovation, this time along the frayed edges of the here and now. Or leave your belt behind for the raw experience — the crew says it’s okay!
