Daan van der Hoeven

The performance in brief

In Mensenmens, Daan van der Hoeven uses humor and sharp stories to find out how to stay a little bit happy. A sharp and personal cabaret show about reinventing yourself and laughing about it.

In order (sort of)

Daan van der Hoeven has his life in order. For his part. He is no longer so depressed, gets out of bed in the morning and is sometimes even happy. Sounds good. But how does that actually work? Just ... being happy? Daan dives into that question and keeps running into the same thing: just when you think you finally get yourself, you start all over again.

No end in sight

With personal and recognizable stories he fillets that endless quest. With personal and recognizable stories he shows how we think we finally understand ourselves, only to find out that we are back to square one. Without a finish line, without a manual, but with humor. Maybe there is everything in it.
