Gesprek van de dag (Talk of the Town)

The play Niet Meer Zonder Jou (No longer without you), performed at Holland Festival 2015, saw Nazmiye Oral [1969] literally fighting her mother. She, the actress and sharp-tongued columnist, in high heels. Her mother, the religious woman from the East of the country, in headscarf. Arguing about sexuality, family and shame. Nazmiye proved that art, society and current affairs are inextricably tied up. And that is exactly what it’s about in the Gesprek van de dag (Talk of the Town). Every day Nazmiye Oral will have a lively conversation at the Josephkwartier that underlines the undeniable connection between the festival and society. She will be receiving artists, experts and visitors to the festival. With her warm line of questioning Nazmiye is an icebreaker. More importantly, she will not be satisfied with easy answers and invites her audience to share their thoughts.
