Okra-Zwijndrecht goes to “In the shadow of Toon Hermans”

Due to high demand, a one-time revival of “In the shadow of Toon Hermans”. A warm-hearted Flemish homage to the greatest Dutch entertainer, folk poet, and philosopher of the joy of life. Cast: Lissa Meyvis and Herman Van Hove. Herman Van Hove tells about his wonderful experiences backstage and at the kitchen table as the last manager and friend of Toon Hermans, a perfectionist and hypochondriac, in his old age still boundlessly ambitious but also filled with a “blissful melancholy”. Lissa Meyvis, an angelic appearance with a voice as fine and fragile as crystal, breathes new, young life into the songs of Toon Hermans, a reflection of the innocence and cheerfulness that the master himself held in such high regard. But also of the love and emotion that drove him. Departure: Meeting at 18:30 in the Dorp van Zwijndrecht, from there we take bus 82-84-85 or 821 to the pontoon, where we take the ferry to the Steen in Antwerp. From there we go on foot to the Hoogstraat.
