Café de Verlossing

An imaginative opera of wandering souls

Silbersee (NL)

In a village where the youth has left, an unusual café has moved into the local church. Boring and silent? Nothing could be further from the truth! Rumour has it that ‘eternal youth’ can be found in this church. Is one declared immortal here, or forever young?

Discover Café de Verlossing: a unique show with music inspired by works by Debussy, Rammstein and famous French Chansons, and where even the game of shuffleboard and the cooking of pub soup are turned into music.

All this is brought to life by an extraordinary cast of Rotterdam seniors, composer Akim Moïseenkov, singers Fanny Alofs and Florian Slangen, percussionist Baue Kunstman and the Café Choir of ‘forgotten old souls’.
