Den Haag Verhalen

Take a look at Den Haag Verhalen (Dutch only).

2009

 ‘A festival that, for many years, has been presenting a successful hybrid of pop music and literature’ - De Volkskrant

‘Love is in the air at Crossing Border’ – NRC Handelsblad

'The sold-out Crossing Border Festival in The Hague endeavours to search for the boundaries between literature and music, and presents this year another programme packed with high quality acts (…) You can hardly get bored; enjoy it all the more.’ - Kindamuzik

‘In no less than eight different halls and rooms within the Schouwburg (Royal Theater) and Nationale Toneelgebouw (National Theater), current lectures, interviews and musical performances take place. A beautiful form of therapy for chronically indecisive types.’ - Trouw

 ‘Crossing Border is and remains a unique festival’ – AD

‘The occurrence of the old Moroccan Mohamed Mrabet storyteller was moving and beautiful. [Mrabet was] illiterate  and a protégé of beats author Paul Bowles, who lived in Tangier for half his life. Mrabet was announced with the words: “You drink whiskey, smoke kif, said “Allah is great”, tell your story, and life goes on. This is the reality in Morocco.” And even that is poetry’ - Leidsch Dagblad

‘The perfect festival doesn’t exist. But Crossing Border comes close. The excellent organisation, the varied programme and the beautiful locations determine the ambience. The audience – an interesting mix between the upper-class, serious music lovers and hip, alternative types – listen actively, give each other space, and clearly enjoy the performances. These elements make for a successful music and literature festival.’ - OOR

Monsters of Folk: ‘...a good ending to, once again this year, a very successful Crossing Border.’ – File Under
