Non-conformist fusion of Dutch rap and theatre

Under her rapper alter ego Elmer, Dutch artist & producer Merel Pauw is a bona fide interloper, causing shockwaves within the discourse of theatre, hip-hop and pop.

On debut album ‘platland’, Elmer forges a vital and off-beat mix of rap, techno and cabaret: a musical journey swerving between playful agitation and deep reflection. Elmer’s shows celebrate the weird and pull against the threads of gender roles and normative thinking with inventive (musical) contrasts and witty lyricism. A true cultural tour-de-force.
