DE LAATSTE TOCHT 21 February @ De Doelen
It’s the question all the Netherlands asks every year: Will it or won’t it? The last time the ice was thick enough to hold the iconic Elfstedentocht long-distance skating tour was 25 years ago, on 4 January 1997. This unforgettable evening at De Doelen brings musicians, writers and scientists together to present their personal odes to that legendary race.
DE KLOKKENLUIDER VAN ROTTERDAM Through 13 March @ Hofpleintheater
Ever heard the rumour about the Euromast monster? De klokkenluider van Rotterdam (‘The Whistleblower of Rotterdam’) at the Hofpleintheater is the story of the notorious Quasimodo and all about the freedom to be yourself, wrapped up in an interactive, musical, play-along stage performance inspired by the age-old fairy tale and reinterpreted for Rotterdam.
