Ivo van Hove is the best theatre director in America. The National Opera recently picked up an Oscar for the International Opera of the Year And now Carmien Michels, the Dutch Poetry Slam champion, reached the third step of the podium of honour at the Poetry Slam World Cup. And this in the year when dyed-in-the-wool Girowinners fall into the snow, race car drivers crash out on their way to a place of honour and the Naderlands football team proves unable to win even a practice game.
Maybe some more people than just the hardcore fans should start realising that we have some damn fine artists here. Even if, or maybe precisely because, we get them from abroad (2x Flanders, 1x Lebanon).
