Djé-Rimo Holle (1990) is a versatile storyteller, poet, and performer from the Netherlands. He is known for his powerful spoken-word performances and stories, which he shares with audiences across the country. His previous appearances include events such as Mensen Zeggen Dingen and North Sea Jazz, and he was featured in the sixth season of Spoken Word Sessions by Dutch public broadcaster Omroep Human.
He served as curator of the exhibition Who Says So? (Wie zegt dat?) at the Van Loon Museum in Amsterdam, where two of his poems were also exhibited. In addition, he works as a museum educator at the World Museum Amsterdam (Wereldmuseum Amsterdam) and the National Maritime Museum (Het Scheepvaartmuseum), where he tells stories about colonial history while incorporating his Moluccan heritage and perspective.
In 2024, he published his debut poetry collection, Firefly (Vuurvlieg), through Rorschach Publishing (Uitgeverij Rorschach). The collection explores themes such as intergenerational trauma, troubled youth, fatherhood, identity, and colonialism. In 2025, he made his theatre debut at the RRReuring Festival of Podium Mozaïek with his solo performance Lawa Kopot, based on his poetry collection.
He is currently touring with his new performance, Sabar.
