A performance that makes you laugh at what you'd rather avoid and gently touches you where you least expect it

There are conversations that are never had. Glances that are not understood. Thoughts that silently accumulate between what you say and what you actually mean. In Altijdloos, Spruijt and Opperman take you into that twilight zone with racy songs, disarming humour and a touch of melancholy: between joke and seriousness, between together and alone, between who you are and who you try to be for the other.

How do you actually relate? To your lover, to your friends, to the generation above or below you, to yourself? What we feel is of now. How we deal with it is from always. And exactly there, in that timeless field of tension where everything is loose, something arises that cannot be planned. Only experience.

"You step out after an hour and a half of Spruijt and Opperman very happy and energised."

About Carlie Spruijt and Eva Opperman

In 2015, Carlie Spruijt and Eva Opperman reached the semi-finals of the Groninger Student Cabaret Festival. A year later, they debuted with their first full-length cabaret programme She and I. This was followed by their programmes Heimweeën and Verzingeving, in which they search for meaning. Altijdloos is a fragmentary musical cabaret programme about the eternal search for how we relate to the other and to ourselves. About everything that changes and everything that (always) stays the same.
