At the end of 2025, every household in The Netherlands received an emergency booklet from the government. Has yours already disappeared into the back of a kitchen drawer? Or do you have your cans of beans and emergency kit ready to go? And should we truly be afraid of a disaster? Join this theatre lecture by Dutch‑literature scholar and philosopher Lotte Jensen, about both the past and the future of disasters in the Netherlands. With music and images of author, musician and filmmaker Jaco Benckhuijsen and percussionist Joost Lijbaart.
