Two Loves - On Oscar Wilde & Lord Alfred Douglas
by Stichting Feest der Poëzie/The Celebrating Poetry Foundation

Immerse yourself in the love story of one of the best-loved writers in the English language and his misunderstood lover with poetry, song, and prose in 'Two Loves', a performance on the life and works of Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas, 'Bosie' for friends. At the height of their rapturous love affair, Wilde was incarcerated for gross indecency. What happened before, during and after this pivotal moment in both their lives? Feest der Poëzie collective will show you with song and theatre

Elocutionist Simon Mulder and renowned actor Marcel Faber will bring prose, poetry and drama by Oscar Wilde and his contemporaries, and take you on a journey through his rise and fall. Daan van de Velde (piano) and Anna Majchrzak (soprano with André Rieu's Johann Strauß Orchestra) will perform English art songs. HetMoet publishers presents 'Twee liefdes/Two Loves', a bilingual anthology of the letters and poems by Wilde and Douglas. Also, we offer the very special performance of a long-lost work for piano and voice on Wilde's "Ballad of Reading Gaol", which he wrote after his two years in prison. Our Poetry Bar offers one of Oscar's favourite drinks: absinthe, accompanied by English sonnets.
