Hans Dorrestijn
Just This
“Still This” by Hans Dorrestijn is a feast for the eyes. In this performance, he alternates classics with brand-new work. He is his old self, with a keen eye for minor suffering and major injustice.
He also reflects on the GREATEST DISASTER OF ALL TIME: THE CLIMATE DISASTER . According to Dorrestijn, the wars in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip are accelerating the destruction of the planet and humanity. In his view, both Putin and Netanyahu should be tried before the International Court of Justice in The Hague, not only for their war crimes but also for their environmental crimes.
Songs like “Mesdagkliniek” and “Ezelkracht” are hypersensitive and hilarious. Despite changing morals and advancing technology, the songs “De Telefoon ,” “Meryl Streep,” and “De Polder van Eemnes” are anything but outdated in Dorrestijn’s hands.
Nog Even Dit is a journey through Dorrestijn’s life and that of humanity as a whole. His pace is somewhat slower, but the humor density remains consistently high.
