What\u2019s simmering beneath the surface? And is there still room to dream? In&nbsp;<em>Kamikaze Copilot<\/em>, 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 \u2014 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kern Koppen previously found national success with the production\u00a0<em>STOMP<\/em>. With this theater debut, the \u2018Turbotalk family\u2019 also forged a new genre by mixing spoken word with radio play\u2013style 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 \u2014 the crew says it\u2019s okay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Language: Dutch<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-whitespace medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-media\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kern Koppen - KAMIKAZE COPILOOT teaser\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UQsulP0JT4I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12000,"template":"","class_list":["post-12042","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Kern Koppen - KAMIKAZE COPILOOT - Explore the North<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/explorethenorth.nl\/en\/event\/kern-koppen-kamikaze-copiloot\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Kern Koppen - KAMIKAZE COPILOOT - Explore the North\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Turbo trip through the spirit of the timesHow are people really doing?
