Kiwi talks too much (they/them) – a queer poet, philosopher, activist, depressivist from Amsterdam. Last year Kiwi travelled to perform poetry all over Europe: in dingy bars where people only spoke Spanish, joined a poetry slam in London and wrote poetic street art in the alleyways of Paris. Kiwi self-published a chapbook called ‘Waiting for the Hidden Track’ with drawings by their hand and even a CD with spoken word recordings. In 2024 they were allowed to join that year’s class of the Amsterdam Poetry Circle. All in all, writing poetry seems to be the one self-destructive coping mechanism they have fallen in love with and that’s here to stay. Kiwi’s work allows the listener to peek under the hood of their mental health, often explores relationships and politics. It can be hard hitting, emotional, a little cynical, but always honest and punk. Oh, and their book is for sale for a variable donation price, so if you like their act: come talk to them after the show. They take visa, mastercard, hugs and cash.
