I actually should have said no

When was the last time you thought: Ik had eigenlijk nee moeten zeggen? It happened to Maarten often. When he was standing on the set of a commercial dressed in an apple suit. When he cooked real Dutch food for his Belgian in-laws at their request, as proof that the Dutch do have taste. When he babysat his niece for a long weekend to get a taste of fatherhood. A small selection of the many awkward moments this performance is rich in. Yet, Maarten often thought later: Luckily I said yes. Because how colorless would his life have been if he had always said no? “Hoekzema is a magnetic storyteller who, with his original humor, thoughtful moral, and a pleasantly bizarre stylistic break, shows a pleasant, calm vision of cabaret.” Theaterkrant
