With Plastic Soup on Stage, drummer and initiator Rogier De Nijs opposes the throw-away society and plastic waste in particular. He is amazed at the ease with which single-use plastic is manufactured, sold and then ends up in a landfill or in the ocean. His goal is to prove that something that seems to have lost its function can be of value again. He builds percussion instruments from plastic waste and uses them to compose contemporary music.
Rogier De Nijs Group consists of:
Sylvan Amoureus - Percussion
Sjaak van Dam - Percussion
Rogier De Nijs - Percussion
Brecht Stiers - Technology
Organized by Studium Generale.
