About the author

Born and raised in Amsterdam, lives to dance and dances to live on electronic music, has a small vinyl addiction, appreciates a little sarcasm now and then, thinks musicals are annoying and loves those moments where you lose track of time completely.

Paradiso is mostly famous for its great concerts and parties. This Thursday however, something different is going down in this legendary place. Every year a range of different artists are invited to show fine arts and performance live for Palais Paradiso. This year’s theme is ‘The Talent Show’, a satirical reference to the enormous amount of talent shows we’re bombarded with nowadays. The contestants will show off their best tricks, especially for you!

210 My Little Ponies

Palais Paradiso is a combination of performance, film art, installations and music. And the upcoming fourth edition will even have a spectacle show! Here are just a few examples from what to expect: Ieke Trinks will try to pile up as much boxes on her head as possible. Nina Yuen from Hawaï will present her latest dreamy, hypnotic film where she draws elegant lingerie on her pantyhose with blue nail polish. And Dennis Verbeke will brush the hair of his 210 My Little Ponies for 90 minutes long. To me, this sounds like a pretty intriguing programme! See you there?!
