Singer Nynke Laverman interviews a number of people who inspire her in the context of her new album and performance OAK. She does this together with radio and podcast maker Lex Bohlmeijer. From October 17, a new episode will be released every month that belongs to a track from the album OAK. Guests include writer David Van Reybrouck, anthropologist Jitske Kramer and singer/songwriter Stef Bos.
On a sweltering spring evening, Nynke and Lex speak to the intriguing British writer Charles Foster. About spirituality, place, senses, the inevitable failure of language and the lack of a big story that we can feel part of as human beings: "We are so starved of story. We’re stuck in a story that is too small and in which we don’t believe. A story of economic growth and malleability that reduces us to economic units. But we are so much more." According to Foster, we need a bigger story that reminds us of the real potential we have as humans: "We are breathtaking, divine creatures and we need a breathtaking, divine story."
