Joost Spijkers | Au Plat Pays

This fall, Joost will again bring new "Au Plat Pays" concerts, named after Jacques Brel's song. The flat country, where there is plenty of room for Joost to sing about life, together with his musicians, in an intimate chamber concert. Beautiful chansons in the tradition of Aznavour, Brel and Shaffy and mostly of his own hand. Because the trio of cello, bass clarinet and viola has a very different appearance and sound than the SPIJKERS band, a new sound emerges. De Groene Amsterdammer articulated very well why Joost Spijkers is such a big name in theater land: "Joost is so much more than a singer. He is a great actor and song performer: sometimes soft and tender, sometimes bitter and hard, sometimes downright clownish."

Known and new repertoire form a powerful and melancholic program in which there is also room for humor. Joost takes the audience by the hand to his world, where there is singing and dancing and where life is celebrated because he loves life so passionately.
