Herman Finkers: EHBO Is Mijn Lust En Mijn Leven(nl)

First aid is my passion and my life. One traffic light turns red, another turns green: there's always something to do in Almelo. One of Herman Finkers' most famous quotes. Herman Finkers has been writing and performing theater programs since 1979. His programs are difficult to describe. He was probably best described in the Utrechts Nieuwsblad: 'master of the double punchline,' 'witty excess that does no harm,' 'sublime nonsense.' EHBO is my passion and my life is Herman Finkers' fourth program, recorded in the Leidse Schouwburg.
