“Want wij zijn Hark, wij zijn Hark, en we gaan nog even door!”
Hark is een verzameling stijlfiguren, of anders gezegd, een verzameling figuren met verschillende stijlen. In een oefenruimte kan dit de nodige frustraties veroorzaken maar op een podium resulteert het steevast in een uitbundig feestje. In de afgelopen jaren hebben de mannen van Hark namelijk genoeg in holen, grotten, bunkers, kraakpanden, studentensociëteiten, cafés, jeugdhonken, ‘gerenommeerde poppodia’ en festivalterreinen gespeeld om te kunnen spreken van een puist aan live ervaring!
