Electronic beats with distinctive lyrics full of self-mockery
Elmer is a rapper, producer and the alter-ego of actress and theater producer Merel Pauw. The music consists of electronic, funky beats accompanied by humorous lyrics full of self-mockery. Elmer dares to be honest and raps about subjects such as panic attacks and self-hatred. In the show ELMERS, the artist shows both a banging and vulnerable side and electronic beats are interspersed with provocative raw lyrics. Accompanied by a colorful set inspired by comic books, a distinctive hip-hop world is created that provides a counterpoint to artists who pretend to be “themselves” on stage and through social media.
