Past event

Singer and trumpeter Michael Varekamp and keyboardist Wiboud Burkens have been the beating heart of The Legends for years. In their 10th full-length theater program Helden, they take the audience on a distinctive journey that visits their heroes. Michael Varekamp dreamed of following in the footsteps of his first black role model, Louis Armstrong. Chansonnière Tess Merlot learned to sing French in Paris, and Wiboud Burkens lived for the soul of Stevie Wonder. The Legends surround themselves in this program with top musicians who have more than earned their stripes on international stages.

Michael Varekamp droomde ervan in de voetsporen te treden van zijn eerste zwarte rolmodel, Louis Armstrong. Chansonnière Tess Merlot ging naar Frankrijk uit liefde voor het chanson en Wiboud Burkens groeide op in Suriname met Soul en Kawina. Kleurrijke inspiratiebronnen voor het oeuvre van The Legends.

The Legends omringen zich ook in dit programma weer met topmuzikanten die hun sporen ruimschoots verdiend hebben op de internationale podia. Evergreens zoals Het Dorp, Everybody wants to be a cat en Mijn Vlakke Land zullen dan ook zeker niet ontbreken in dit spetterende programma.

Speciaal voor deze jubileumvoorstelling slaan zij de handen ineen met regisseur en theaterlegende Karel de Rooij. Deze daagde hen uit om meer dan ooit zichzelf te laten zien in dit meeslepende persoonlijke programma.
