6.1A place-specific film-excavation of Bixiga neighborhood-São Paulo. Choreography of forces that cross present time. Filmancy, clairvoyance is the vision of what is taking shape. Allegory: lobby-color, speculates. Hollow in the heart of the city, a rock. A bird ‘rappina’ lands. Novelty: Quilombo, alley, dealers: step. Vai-Vai samba school’s black and white banner. Pictograms from Benjamin’s “The Arcades project”. Progress: pluging the river while it’s possible. Commodity: Matarazzo & Metro. The real state of things, real estate: banning organic. Ground- quotation, avocados, blue taroes, water tanks, oxum: (cosmo) political reaction. Rheme maining sources: life asking for passage.

The band performed with drummer/percussionist Tim Barnes (Essex Green, Jukeboxer, Silver Jews).
7.0A video-registration of the revue/cabaret show 'Showponies 2' by the Alex Klaasen Revue. In this sequel to the first Showponies-show, Alex Klaassen explores to what extent he cares about what (the still quite heteronormative) society thinks. Klaassen considers coming out for a second time, because he feels like he has ended up in a second closet after his first coming out.
7.1Maassen won two of the biggest comedy contests in the Netherlands in 1990, the Groninger Studenten Cabaret Festival(GSCF), and Cameretten. The GSCF jury was not pleased with the quality of the contestants that year, and gave Maassen the first prize, remarking he was the best of the year, but still not very good. In the following years, however, Maassen fame grew steadily, especially amongst students. Maassens style was based on stand-up comedy: Alone on stage, telling jokes and stories to amuse the public, without any musical support (a thing common for most Dutch comedians up to that point). Since 2000, Maassens shows are shown on Dutch national television, making him more and more a household name.
5.9Teeuwens fifth stand-up show is about love. Small, large, hidden, the physical, the famous and the improper love. Hans Teeuwen unravels that love into forms that you do not recognize, but can very surely sense.

0.0Video registration of the second comedy special by the Dutch comedian Stefano Keizers. In Keizers' own words, 'Sorry Baby' is 'an art performance that tries to approach a regular comedy special as closely as possible'.
9.0Ten years, three theater shows, and a best-of show later. A decade has flown by, and his thirtieth birthday is slowly creeping closer. But has Xander De Rycke learned anything over the past few years? Has he actually grown up, or does he just think he has? Flanders' best observational comedian is back and ready for the next step. With a head full of twists and turns, a bunch of colorful references, and an eye on the future, Xander De Rycke is back with "Quarter-Life Crisis." A show with relatable moments about life. Or at least a quarter of it.
10.0Dutch entertainer Claudia de Breij takes the stage for a wide-ranging New Year's Eve performance.
8.0In the show, Jochem talks about his love for nature. Jochem: 'If you're going to talk about something four hundred times, you have to choose something you really want to talk about. Jokes are fun, but I want to talk about things that interest me. My three big hobbies are fishing, theater, and birds. The book De Gorgels is also about nature. I've already incorporated my passion for biology into it, and now I want to show that on stage as well.
0.0An absurdist theatre piece by Dutch comedy duo Rundfunk. A collection of original sketches and songs.
0.0Registration of the theater show 'I Amhali' by Najib Amhali. Najib itself is central to this spectacular show full of music. He knows better than anyone that happiness is in the small things. He is happily married and just the father of a second son. But do these great milestones in his life also make him more mature? Not according to his wife, because she is sometimes stuck with three children! The band PlusSupportAct provides the musical accompaniment during this performance.
0.0In September 2013, it was exactly 12½ years ago that Bas Hoeflaak and Peter van de Witte launched their first full-length theater show 'Teer' under the name Droog Brood. The very best from six theater programs will be collected and forged into a magnificent and classic theater evening. Includes intermission and show trap. It will be fun. For the gentlemen of Droog Brood – who have finally found a reason to perform precious scenes one more time (there is talk of itchy fingers) – but of course also for the audience, who will be presented with an evening of hilarious highlights and will be able to enjoy themselves immerse yourself in a warm atmosphere of sweet melancholy. In short: the ladyfingers have been bought, the Smurfs have been called and Soekeloekie has pulled his proverbial nose out of the grease to frequently put it around the corner.
0.0Registration of the fourth theatre program by the Dutch comedian Pieter Derks.
