It seems that at the inset performances of Maas Theatre&Dans' latest, 'Stuntkont', a few schools have already complained. Classes even walked out. Logical perhaps, at least for adult school teachers who can't take poop-and-pee jokes. Children from 6 to 106 can only laugh really hard at them. So poop-and-pee jokes turn out to be more amusing than I myself expected. At least when they are made...

It was a chilly Thursday evening before Christmas 2023 and a grim atmosphere hung in the wedding hall of the old Utrecht city hall. Where during the day countless Utrechters were saying yes to each other, two partners were now facing each other. They no longer looked at each other, each had gathered their own supporters. Angry words rang out from one, bewildered words from the other. Members...
"In America, when you put two guys on stage, the audience expects them to beat each other up, or fuck each other. In this play, neither happens, but in the theatre it's almost always about two men fighting or fucking." Legendary words from Samuel D. Hunter. He wrote the play 'A Case for the Existence...

Je zal maar witte man zijn van zekere leeftijd. Sommigen van ons zijn het zo zat overal de schuld van te krijgen dat ze uit pure wanhoop PVV of erger hebben gestemd bij de laatste verkiezingen. Daarom is het goed dat toneelschrijver Erik Snel, zelf witte man van zekere leeftijd, een stuk heeft geschreven over het archetype van de Nederlandse…

It is one of my worst guilty pleasures. Egg salad from the better-filled mayonnaise manufacturer from Twente, with a close second to their tuna salad. I can't get enough of those. And now let them have both of those on the table at Het Kerstdiner in Theater Kleine Willem in Enschede. Chic is different, but in the...
"Listening, not always understanding, but trying to go along with (the black) voices ensured that, in my opinion, there was a beautiful text at the heart of the performance Ik zeg toch sorry." If a short preface to a play has as much meaning as this quote by Raymi Sambo, the text itself must offer much more....
Het was 2000 en Wim Kayzer, van de VPRO, bracht een serie televisieavonden die inging tegen alles wat commercieel verantwoord was. Het heette ‘Van de Schoonheid en de Troost’ en bevatte avondlange interviews met mensen als Jane Goodall, J.M. Coetzee, Karel Appel en George Steiner. Intellectuelen, kunstenaars, denkers. Op 23 november 2023, de dag na 22/11, toen Nederland een openlijke…

Tobogganing teenagers. If you don't have them at home, you read and hear about them in the media. The phone provides them with thousands of impressions a day, but the constant in history remained: for Generation Z, little attracts attention as much as sex. Or Sex? This language question begins the performance by HNTjong, the youth company of Het Nationale Toneel in Den...

De overheadprojector. Wat een mooi instrument in handen van een kunstenaar. Er zal vast ook iemand komen die iets onverwachts doet met een digitaal whiteboard, maar dat kan niet zo vindingrijk zijn als wat Jilles Flinterman doet in ´Boudica’. Het stuk, gemaakt onder de vleugels van de Utrechtse Theatergroep Aluin, verhaalt over een vrouw die in Engeland een standbeeld heeft,…
