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.

EHBO is my passion and my life is Herman Finkers' fourth program, recorded in the Leidse Schouwburg.

With a love of all types of music evident in every shot, WARMED-OVER KRAUTROCK is a comedy for anyone who's ever spent too much time obsessing over playlists - and for anyone who's ever been driven crazy by that type of person, too.
