“Success is difficult. If it were easy, everybody would be successful. But it is through difficulty that we can reach the stars. Dichter bij Leeuwarden is a vehicle for this. A very big bus, with space wheels. And you can board the bus at any time. Even if, as an artist, you’re too late. Because the bus has magical departure times. So get ready, because this bus is going places, even space.” – Hindirk Hannema
