Winner of the prestigious Gouden Krekel (Golden Cricket) for most impressive production of 2022-2023.
The jury: "It is an exceptionally relevant theater production about manipulation and slick words, which turn out to be a deadly weapon"
***** "In this satire, Het Filiaal traces the rise of a fascist. The terrifying and entanglements are perfectly balanced by witty puppetry and the clever text"
- NRC Cultuurgids - Marijn Lems
Critic's choice
***** "Wonderful to see puppets theater makers at work who understand their craft and move good material in their minds"
- Theaterkrant - Javier López Piñon
POPpulism
How do you bend a country to your will? A comic show with a dark edge. With four actors, eight puppets and live percussion.
In the kingdom of Berg en Dal (Mountain and Valley), the valley is almost always in the shade, while the mountain gets plenty of sun. That's just the way it is. Until valley-dweller Barrie comes up with a revelation: the mountain-dwellers are stealing the sun! He claims he can get their sun back and eventually becomes the valley's “hero”. But is what he says really true?
POPpulism is a comic show with a dark edge. With four actors, live percussion and vocals. The absurd and clever text by Eva Gouda is played entirely with puppets and shows how manipulation works.
*Inspired by the book The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil by George Saunders.
POPpulism is available for international touring of re-staging.
