Populisme de musical
A year after graduating from Codarts Music Theatre, Sem Konijn is already conquering Dutch stages as a solo artist. With political cabaret, razor-sharp satire, music, and a healthy dose of self-mockery, he dives into the temptation of populism.
Why is anger so seductive? Why does the hard one-liner so often triumph over nuance? And where does the line between democracy and division lie?
With humor, musicality, and disarming honesty, Sem takes stock of Dutch democracy and society through music-theatrical means. Confronting and relatable, but above all hopeful: a passionate call for gentleness in a time that seems to be hardening ever further.
A performance that grates, makes you laugh, moves you, and sparks conversation.
Sem Konijn is known for his roles in Cyrano , Scrooge , and Je Anne , for which he was nominated for a Musical Award for Best Emerging Talent. His song Dit Moet Worden Gezegd also went viral in the Dutch media.
