A mix of Antwerp's lyrical (underground?) talent.

These young and passionate people gather to bring poetry, spoken word, lyrics and rhymes. Often critical, witty and funny. Sometimes cynical or sarcastic. Or personal stories expressed in Dutch, French or English.

The spark in the eyes reveals the reason why they are so good: No ego's, but authentic self expression in a positive and open atmosphere...

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
