Abel van Gijlswijk - AABZ '25 TOUR: JA EN NEE

In these polarized times, Abel van Gijlswijk breaks with black-and-white thinking. No polder, no gray compromises: yes and no. A randomly curated anthology with stories from anarchist Zen Buddhism to dropshippers.

He is the voice of a generation. The only new public intellectual under fifty who matters. Teen idol. And Abel radically disagrees with the ways in which he is interpreted by the press. Yes, he leads the only Dutch punk band that matters. Yes, of course his solo work is also iconic. And yes, his theater tours are as sold out as they are legendary. And of course the book he is writing is going to change lives. But that doesn't define him as a person. With typical Dutch modesty, Abel says: "I am a skin bag full of organs, bones, blood and good intentions."
