"AMOR FATI, That is Latin, then we are sure that Prime Minister Bart De Wever likes it." After ten years, Jan Jaap van der Wal has become an indispensable part of Flemish theaters and the television screen. The love between the comedian and his new home country is completely mutual. To celebrate that, he brings his most ambitious performance to date to the theater with AMOR FATI.
Love for fate: that is the common thread. Fate brought Jan Jaap to Flanders ten years ago, a place he now knows through and through. "It is fantastic to live here, but it also goes fantastically wrong so often," says Jan Jaap. Whether it is about political current events, our peculiar habits, or the absurdity of everyday life; he dissects it with the precision we know from him from De Ideale Wereld and De Slimste Mens.
Jan Jaap has been on stage for almost thirty years now. After four successful full-evening shows in Flanders, he is the ultimate outsider who is on the inside. AMOR FATI is an invitation to look into the abyss with him and laugh out loud at it. Because if we are going down anyway, let's do it with a rock-solid joke.
