​VOLLE ZALEN - PLIEN & BIANCA

Plien van Bennekom and Bianca Krijgsman have been the beloved cabaret duo Plien & Bianca for over thirty years. In this episode, we follow them as they prepare for their brand-new theatre show 'Harrekidee'. Host Cornald Maas joins the pair for an open-hearted conversation about their decades-long friendship, the nerves that still creep in, the joy of playing the fool, crying together in the van, laughing until it hurts, and rummaging through the costume box in search of fresh, absurd characters.

EUROVISION 2024  'DE VOORBESCHOUWING' 

For a special talkshow, 'the preview of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024', I will be making television reports together with Hila Noorzai in Malmö. 
Hila interviews Dutch artist Joost Klein and (almost) all the other participants. And of course we film the beautiful things Malmö has to offer.

where we also made a number of contributions for 1Vandaag.

VOLLE ZALEN - SVEN RATZKE
​​
Spending a few days in Berlin with
Sven Ratzke is particularly festive. His widely praised performance 'Marlene' is impressive. 

Cornald Maas meets Ratzke in an inconspicuous cemetery near the grave of Marlene Dietrich. The conversation focuses on her role in the Second World War, in which she sided with the Allies. What else intrigues Ratzke about the German legend?


Sven Ratzke - son of a Dutch father and a German mother - received a Musical Award for his leading role in Rocky Horror Show (2022), and worked abroad with stars as Nina Hagen and Rufus Wainwright. He achieved international success in 2016
​with his widely praised performance about David Bowie.
But why can't the Dutch always place it?

​
Bart Rutten, director of the Centraal Museum​ visits the exhibition Pioneering Ceramics in Delft.
​Masterpieces from the historical pottery collection side by side with work by contemporary makers. This creates an exciting dialogue that provides special insights. Because while the basic recipe of ceramics has remained the same, the world to which makers respond has changed significantly.
