With recognizable news facts, sharp analyses and humorous video fragments, Raymond shows how the media play a crucial role in the polarization of America-and which signals of this are also visible in the Netherlands. During the performance we 'zap' past the news channels FOX News and CNN and you get a unique look behind the scenes of America's media war.

This theatercollege combines serious topics with light-hearted moments and a good dose of humor. Afterwards, you will not only better understand the media landscape of America, but you will also be able to bring new insights to the Dutch context.
