Much suggests that democracy has had its day and that the power of the Dutch parliament is virtually nil. So the parties flee into the sham world of party leader elections and mega coalitions. The media, as always, run like dogs after every discarded stick. Beyond idealism, beyond populism, beyond realism, we will choose and vote on September 12, 2012. For what and for whom?

Registration of the second theatre program by the Dutch comedy duo (Erik) van Muiswinkel and (Diederik) van Vleuten. In their first program, the two comedians limited themselves to the earth and the strange peoples who inhabit it. In their second program they expand their explorations into the world of the unseen, where they test their strength with astrologers, illusionists, millennium preachers and similar figures. What mechanisms drive people to believe in supernatural madness, and to derive pleasure and comfort from it? Have we made any progress in the twentieth century? If Darwin, Freud and Einstein opened humanity's eyes, then a hundred years later there will be enough volunteers to close them again. Van Muiswinkel and Van Vleuten argue about it for a long time during this performance.
