Nu is het nog rustig 8+
An endless soap opera in fast forward.
In this new family show by Jetse Batelaan (winner of the 2026 Directing Award), we see adults racing through their personal lives at breakneck speed. In the little time they have left, they run from event to event. There is flirting, bickering, laughter, and crying. In this runaway drama, high peaks and deep valleys alternate at a dizzying pace. All in a feverish attempt to leave an indelible impression.
And all this while, somewhere in the far corner of our field of vision, something else seems to be moving. It moves agonizingly slowly, but something is undeniably happening. But these over-18s have no time for that. They have to keep going! The next triviality is already screaming for their attention.
Can anyone perhaps help them? Is anyone here keeping track of everything? Are there perhaps children in the audience?
Following the success of *Het einde van het begin van het einde* (2020), *Een leuk avondje uit* (2022), and *De* (2024), Theater Artemis, hetpaleis, and Het Zuidelijk Toneel are joining forces for a fourth time.
