Maarten Heijmans & Xander Vrienten

The performance in brief

What happens when kleinkunst meets the deep south of America? In Wachtend op de dood Maarten Heijmans and Xander Vrienten find out.

What if

What if Maarten van Roozendaal had been born in New Orleans? Boudewijn de Groot in Nashville? Or Shaffy in Memphis? And imagine Dr. John ... but on Marken.

Same stories, different sound

Folk, blues and kleinkunst turn out to be closer together than you think. Loss, longing and small tragedy. Stories about ordinary people, told with sharp sentences and a good dose of irony. With a band, Maarten Heijmans and Xander Vrienten play new songs and cabaret classics, somewhere between the Jordaan and the Mississippi.
