Roel and Jos Maalderink, known from the satirical VPRO TV program Plakshot, made an immediate impression with their theater debut, and so the brothers are back with the successful revival of their cabaret show Verbroedering. People often find it hard to believe that Roel and Jos are brothers because they are so different from each other. After battling it out for seven seasons in Plakshot, they are now taking on each other in the theater.

Verbroedering is a topical cabaret show about democracy under attack, a climate going to hell, and AI that will soon make us completely redundant. How do we solve today's problems? With hope or with pessimism? By adapting or by staying true to yourself? With a wink or a witty remark? In short: with Roel or with Jos?!

With this, the Netherlands is two iconic brothers richer. In 1672, the De Witt brothers were lynched; in 1995, the De Boer brothers won the Champions League; and in 2002, the Ko brothers had a horn on their jet ski. Roel and Jos have neither a horn nor a jet ski, but now they do have a full-length show.

The press:

‘'A funny, very beautiful performance' – de Volkskrant ★★★★

‘The Plakshot brothers also have a high likeability factor in the theater. Theater Newspaper

‘Familiar mix of dry humor and social criticism' – Fidelity

‘The brothers expose the problem of politics and media with crystal clarity.’ – Het Parool

‘Surprising, innovative, pure, and above all, incredibly funny.’' – Theaterparadijs ★★★★

A major Eureka moment is coming! 1989. The Berlin Wall fell, borders opened, the future beckoned, and twelve-year-old Peter van Ewijk invented… a helmet with lights. No Nobel Prize, but certainly a memorable moment. Now, decades later, walls are being erected again and borders closed. The world seems grimmer than ever. Time for an invention that really makes a difference.
