Freek de Jonge

Freek de Jonge brings the fourth volume of his memoirs to life on stage. In this special performance, he looks back on the years 1969–1980 — a period in which everything began for him and took a decisive turn.

It is the time of his meeting with Hella, the rise and fall of Neerlands Hoop, and the exciting start of a solo career with De Komiek. Years of experimentation, engagement, and doubt, but also of success and stage presence. De Jonge connects personal memories in his unique way with the zeitgeist of then and now.

What seemed self-evident turns out to be a complicated story in retrospect. Wisten Wij Veel is not a retrospective full of certainties, but a quest for what really happened — lighthearted where possible, sharp where necessary, and always personal. A unique opportunity to experience a decisive period in De Jonge’s life on stage.
