Schunck Frictions

Third edition Frictions festival: OUTPOET Night XL

On 22 February it's time for the third edition of Frictions: OUTPOET Night XL, where SCHUNCK will be transformed into a pop stage, right in the middle of the museum.

At Frictions we celebrate emotions one evening a month, together with our favorite creative players in town, in the middle of the exhibition 'In for life: 10 years of David Bade in Heerlen'. In February, the emotion 'happy' takes center stage, and that is framed by a solid musical program.

OUTPOET Night @ Frictions Festival


With some regularity OUTPOET, the cultural breeding ground of Heerlen, presents OUTPOET Nights: atmospheric evenings with music, art and poetry. In February, this event crosses the Heerlen Pancratiusplein to SCHUNCK Glaspaleis for an XL edition in the form of 'Frictions'.

SCHUNCK pop temple

Musical acts like Mt. Atlas, Housepainters, and Saint Pierre presents: 273 turn the museum into a temporary pop temple. In the world of OUTPOET you will also meet creative makers such as kashka, Roy "Boy" Aldi, beatrice pittman, Nadya Bonter-Slenders, Lieke Varkevisser, Isabelle Numan, Miko Photography, Gina van Es and Bente Snijkers. They will bring their artworks and creations to the central hall of the Glaspaleis. On the second floor you can join the game club and participate in 'OUTplayed - 'Till Death Gives Us Parts Playtest'. Think board games, Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon and Disney Locarna Casual.

Admission is free and the bar is stocked. So walk in to OUTPOET Night x Frictions Festival on 22 February at SCHUNCK Museum - where ordinariness is challenged and strangeness is embraced!
