Actually you should say yes to life every day. Get up and go among people. But sometimes that feels like a bigger task than it sounds.
After experiences in education, the darkroom and at a sickbed, Johan Goossens colorfully tells what worlds he has now plunged into. For example, he took a course in alternative therapy, drank hectoliters of star mix and unexpectedly rolled into a board position. In a businesslike voice, he brings up points at meetings, while at night he passively sends aggressive e-mails with: ''it has surprised me that...''
With humor, self-mockery and vulnerability Johan gets through life, although the tendency to hide under the covers remains. Het Volle Leven is a performance full of beautiful songs, absurd observations and stories from life as it really is.

"Johan Goossens deftly plays with cynicism and sincerity." (Trouw)
