Dance the sparks out of your trainers with that greasy blend of thick techno, insane aerobics, cutting words and a dash of absurdism. We clap into it with a nice warm-up and then whizz through the silent disco. So shake your hips with Marrit Bausch and Wordbites as your top best über disruptor and poetry host.
20.00 - 20.30h / 21.00 - 21.30h / 22.00 - 22.30h / 23.00 - 23.30h | 6 East
Job van Tol works daily as an animal keeper among special species such as penguins and vultures at ARTIS Amsterdam. He decided to study the history between humans and animals based on his own profession. He wrote a book about it: De oppasser [The keeper]. During Museum Night, using the life stories of some famous zoo inhabitants, such as wisent Willem and bonobo Mafuka, he talks about the lessons animals teach us, about the world and about ourselves. The lecture Life lessons from animals is in English.
