Kno 'ledge is a talented spoken words artist with
African roots, he is an outspoken young political figure in Holland, and is
basically amazing!
Jessica and I had our concept ready and clear. Union
unifies all arts. Union creates a creative explosion of different disciplines
on one simple evening. We chose to involve the three biggest segments in the
creative world. Music, Art and Theatre.
At this moment in time we had two days before we had our pitch, so our stress level was on full power!

29 different concepts were to be presented to the location (De Trouw). After all the pitches where given, the location would award
four prices: The best pitch; the
best concept; the most original concept and the first price winner. The first price winning pitch would win the location, enabling the concept to be realized (with no budget!)
Jessica and I felt strongly about out concept, we knew it wasn’t very original but we feel confident about the demand for a event like UNION right now.

We wanted to give the location a taste on what we
would be bringing during UNION, so I called up Knoll 'edge to get together for a
coffee.
It was very nice to get to know Kno'ledge better in a personal matter; he is such an inspiration and a very very nice person. We explained to kno'ledge what our idea was and how he felt about this? He loved our initiative and liked the idea of all becoming one, the unifying off all arts. We where bold enough to ask him if he would be interested to write a poem about UNION so we could start our pitch with him and make a good impression. He loved the idea, checked his schedule and said YES!!!!

He wrote this amazing poem about the Mona Lisa being
missed placed, the Picasso is also gone.. Union will put everything back in its
place. The poem is in Dutch here it is, (Google translate that shit ;))

look off the day
De Mona Lisa
hangt niet meer op haar plek
De muur is leeg,
ook de Picasso is weg
Ook de fluit van
Henk en Ingrid
Bezuinigen, als
de sleutel tot inzicht
Voel je de
leegte, geen geluid
Hoor je de
stilte, we komen niet vooruit
Ik wil genieten,
met mijn liefde
In de
schouwburg, op dat ene liedje
Ooit was het
vanzelfsprekend
Toen we geen
links of rechts waren
Maar jong,
laagdrempelig,
En toch, vrij,
geen dienaren
Het Jazz meisje
zingt de bleus
En dan valt het
doek
Er heerst
ouderdom
Saai, fragiel
Bijna vergaan
Maar niets is
minder waar
Creatievelingen
onder elkaar
Kunst en cultuur
bij uitstek
Zet de Mona Lisa
terug op haar plek
