Isabelle Beernaert – ROUGE

With ROUGE, choreographer Isabelle Beernaert presents a new creation that touches the core of her artistic signature. For 40 years, she has been building a unique choreographic language in which dance, emotion, and inner experience merge into a universal and physical form of storytelling. Her creations resonate because they start from something essential: the body as a carrier of memory, energy, and truth.

The Brothers van Arkel – Just call me 'you'

Everyone gets older, but not everyone becomes an adult. The Van Arkel Brothers clearly do. Or at least, they are working on it. Their father, the minister, has retired, and now it is their turn to become someone. Someone with a vision. A plan. Someone with their own coffee machine, matching tea towels, arch supports, and a 12-piece screwdriver set. Someone who does the weekly grocery shopping every Saturday. Who doesn't doubt everything so much. Who doesn't have to outdo his brother every time. Someone you address formally without even realizing it.

Dolf Jansen Shameless – New Year's Eve 2026

In more and more places, we see the power of the big mouth, the power of big money, the power of men in suits and cops with mirrored sunglasses and an earpiece. Political leaders, lobbyists, tech bros, influencers, marketers, talk show commentators, and many others with whom you would rather not share the scarce oxygen. They are everywhere, and they are shameless.

Percossa – Little bomb!

Percossa's show full of spectacle.

Four men. One goal. The ultimate rhythm act that is supposed to bring them eternal fame. More spectacular, faster, more dangerous—until it goes wrong… Time freezes, and suddenly they stand on a diving board above an infinite abyss. Will they jump?

Kasper van der Laan – Spacious

If you saw him now, you wouldn't say so: Kasper used to prefer staying in the background. Those days are over. He has, in fact, discovered a different Kasper within himself. A Kasper who dares to take up more and more space. Connecting with other people is also getting easier, although the tricky part of a conversation remains that you have no control over what the other person will say in return. From now on, Kasper is allowed to be himself. People will no longer cross his boundaries. At least, that is the intention. In his new show, Kasper is eager to tell us how he does that. And to show us. We are curious to see what we can learn from him this time.

Piaf by Suzan Seegers – A new Dutch musical about the life and death of a legend

A new Dutch musical about the life and death of a legend

After a life full of drink, drugs, and men, one of France's greatest artists passed away 60 years ago: Edith Piaf. Now, long after her death, her songs are still listened to and sung all over the world. Songs like 'Non, Je ne regrette rien', 'La Vie En Rose', 'Milord', and 'Padam' are just a few immortal examples from an impressive repertoire of songs.

This performance is about the life and the death of 'the little sparrow'. Through stories and her unforgettable music, the phenomenal Piaf relives various important moments from her life. She discovers who she was and finds out what it is that she leaves behind.

Marjolijn van Kooten – It won't be my fault

We know Marjolijn from her previous, sold-out shows about panic, worrying, and pills. Her honest, deadpan cabaret full of self-mockery is a genre in itself and draws full houses throughout the Netherlands. In this show, she wonders why we only appreciate life when someone is dead. Or sick. Couldn't that happen a little sooner? Do people have to die before we feel alive? Black humor, sensitive songs, and shameless stories; that is Van Kooten through and through. It certainly won't be her fault if she doesn't.

The Kilkennys – Tunes from The Temple Bar

After their spectacular 25th anniversary tour, the men of The Kilkennys are bringing the most famous Irish pub to Dutch theaters: The Temple Bar. This is the vibrant heart of Irish culture, where the rule is simple: as long as the door is open, there is live music!

Beach Boys' Best (reprise) – Greatest Hits from the Kings of Harmony

Je verwacht het niet meteen: vijf jonge gasten die zich vastbijten in het meest verfijnde poprepertoire uit de jaren zestig — en er vervolgens volle zalen enthousiast mee krijgen.

Na de eerste tour van de winnaar van de Tribute: Battle of the Bands 2025 bleef er geen twijfel hangen maar de vraag: wanneer komen ze terug?
