Winner of the prestigious Gouden Krekel (Golden Cricket) for most impressive production of 2022-2023. 

Tipped with 5 stars in NRC (national newspaper) and Theaterkrant (national theatre website)!

In the kingdom of Berg and Dal (Mountain and Valley), the valley lies in the shade, while the mountain gets plenty of sun. Until valley dweller Barrie comes up with an explanation: the mountain dwellers are stealing their sun.

How do you bend
a country to your will?


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 English spoken in beeld

In this satire, Het Filiaal traces the rise of a fascist. The terrifying entanglements are perfectly balanced by witty puppetry and the clever text.
NRC Cultuurgids - Marijn Lems
Wonderful to see puppet theater makers at work who understand their craft and have good material in their hands.
