Jan Jaap van der Wal

Early bird price 32 euros Amor Fati, or the love for fate. Latin, so you immediately know that Prime Minister Bart De Wever can certainly appreciate this. Ten years ago, that same fate brought Jan Jaap van der Wal to Flanders: the place where life is wonderful, but where it also so often goes grandiosely wrong. And exactly that is what Jan Jaap embraces with pleasure. He still feels like a Fleming in training, but in the meantime, he has become an indispensable part of our theaters and screens. The love between Flanders and Jan Jaap is clearly mutual. That is why he is celebrating his anniversary here with his fifth and immediately largest show to date. Because, as he puts it himself: “Whether we go under due to a war, a budget deficit, or because we choke on a shrimp croquette at the seaside, go under we will. Let's do it with a big smile.” Amor Fati is a performance full of wit, gentleness, and wonderfully relativizing humor.
