Micha Wertheim: Voor Alle Duidelijkheid(nl)

Micha Wertheim asks himself and his audience how to live and survive in a gloomy future perspective. Populism seems to have been taken for granted by both right-wing and left-wing parties. Racism, sexism, anti-Semitism seem to be increasing. The planet is dying. The factory farming industry is still booming. We have reached a dead end and we are standing with our noses against a blank wall. All we can do now is turn around to see how we got here, with our backs against the wall.

Micha Wertheim: Someone Else(nl)

This comedy/theatre show is the sequel to 'Micha Wertheim: Somewhere Else'. This second show starts exactly where the first show ended: in the same theatrical scenery, with the same robot. But this time Wertheim surprises his audience by showing up. He tells about how the first experimental comedy show was received and contemplates about the magic of theatre and art in a society about the right to exist of art in a society that allows less and less doubt and confusion. When Robot falls into a depression, the boundaries between theater and reality begin to blur.

You are being listened to(nl)

Award-winning artist Wim Helsen proves in his fifth theater performance that he not only has deep, absurd thoughts, but is also a good listener.

Micha Wertheim: Somewhere Else(nl)

The bigger the audiences for Dutch comedian Micha Wertheim’s shows became, the less he had to do to make them laugh. In one early show, he suggested that the audience would be better off without him. So in 2016, he acted upon this suggestion with an experiment that made theater history: he wasn't physically present onstage but somewhere else. The audience wasn't aware of this in advance, though they did get a hint in the form of a pre-recorded "live" radio interview from a remote studio. "I see my audience as my children," Wertheim says in this interview. "You have to educate them, and that’s what I’ve been doing for the past 15 years. At first you have to constantly be there watching them, but there comes a time when you have to trust them to get on with it without you." With some help from a robot, a printer, a stereo and a set of headphones, the members of his audience were able to make their own performance.

Droog Brood: Scènes voor de Mensen(nl)

Registration of the second theatre program by the Dutch comedy duo Droog Brood (Bas Hoeflaak and Peter van de Witte). The show is a sum of apparently separate scenes that show the human struggle and the desire for affection. Misunderstandings and clumsiness determine our interactions with each other, while meanwhile there is always the consciousness that love will bring us the deepest happiness. But affection is always present. The characters in this show fail, but ultimately they find an answer in the simplicity of the moment.

Freddy De Vadder: Gearrangeerd(en)

Bart Vanneste is known as the West-Flanders, chain smoking 'Freddy De Vadder'. He's been roaming around theaters, clubs, festivals, fairs for the last couple of years. In this show he goes deeper into his alter ego 'Freddy De Vadder'. Along the way, Freddy tries to deal with what is expected of someone with his newly acquired status. Light, decor, costumes and stagecraft are "Arranged" (hence, the title "Gearrangeerd"). He even makes an attempt to smuggle some poetry into the show, in his quest for the most beautiful word. In this performance, you can expect an unreal level of self-exaltation of the foul-mouthed fellow and many opportunistic interpretations of pressing social issues such as tolerance, work ethic, perception, money, advertising ... But do not panic! All this of course without a shred of embarrassment!
