Erotic Poetry Night - Valentine Special

As a DJ, Ascha is on an ever-evolving journey of exploring sounds past and present. Moving dynamically between genres in her mixes, she is interested in the unconventional and underrepresented. With an affection for syncopated rhythms, her sound ranges from downtempo beats like R'n'B, trip-hop and dub, to old school UK garage and contemporary bass-driven club music. She will create a warm and intimate atmosphere whether it is in a club or in a listening setting. Past performances include Lowlands Festival, Wilde Weide Festival, IsBurning, Club3 and homebase RRFM in Amsterdam.

Luka Prelas (she/her) is a Croatian-bred, Zaandam-based writer and spoken word artist. 

Through her work, she explores all facets of human existence through a trans lens, like womanhood, traumas, love aches, and other people’s problems with her (trans) womanhood. She won a feminist performance prize at the 2nd Queer and Feminist Awards in 2023, got published in an Amsterdam-based magazine 'Issue' in 2024, and was a 2025 Spoken Awards finalist. Luka thinks of her style as exorcism-like, often angry, seldom sweet, with a sprinkle of body horror and a dash of hope.

As a director, actor, and writer, Nilüfer Öder creates stories through imagination, emotion, and physical expression. She has appeared in films such as Mr & Mrs Aslan and Merhamet, television series including GTST and Bonnie & Clyde, directed documentaries (Strijders voor Gelijke Rechten), and writes for Theaterkrant.

Especially for this evening, she becomes Zahara, carrying the warmth of the East. Her voice holds the power of a woman who hides nothing, yet reveals only what she chooses—and only when she chooses.

On February 14th, she shares something intimate:
the tension between touch and distance,
the desire that whispers beneath the surface,
the fire that quietly ignites and keeps burning—
awakening the senses.
