Crossing Border Festival

Crossing Border is the festival where literature, music, film and the visual arts combine to take central stage. 16 to 20 November 2005, writers, poets, musicians, filmmakers and artists will reign over The Hague's cultural centre.
Since Crossing Border's inception it has sought to find a unique combination of the spoken word with music, film and visual art. As well as courting the biggest names from the international worlds of literature and music, we pay a lot of attention to (as yet) undiscovered artists. One of Crossing Border's hopes is to highlight new developments in literature and music and their interconnection with other arts. November 2005 will bring the thirteenth edition of this festival that has evolved to become one of the foremost international, interdisciplinary literature and music festivals in Europe. With performances occurring simultaneously on several stages, Crossing Border allows the audience to programme their own personal festival. This year's Crossing Border newly pledges to deliver an immense number of performances that will touch, move, beguile, entice, enthral, and scratch the itch of all of us.
