Experience the silence of sound

Dozens of writers, poets and artists will again be performing in the vicinity of Central Station and Witte de With quarter on various stages including Arminius, TENT, V2_, Goethe-Institut and the Czech Center, Donner Bookshop, Rotterdam Theater, Chabot Museum, Maaspodium, Het Witte Huis, and De Schouw.
