TRUCKSTOP FRAU MAN is a therapeutic flashback to the 1974 World Cup where jerseys were exchanged after the match. A cheerful and theatrical investigation into the musical expression of winning, losing, and the processing of trauma to tragicomic effect. In the Appie Happie Chauffeurs Diner, the consequences of any choices made are being digested at the counter as well as behind it. We see Herr Falko during his congealed stopover at Truckstop Frau Man. He talks, she sings.

Some 10 songs look at the Netherlands in the 1970s from a German perspective. An era of seeming tolerance, long hair, and caballeros without filter.

During the performances at 5 p.m., visitors will be served a real trucker’s meal. The ticket price for this time slot includes this meal.

”This time, our regular festival guest Frau Bakker plays and sings about life behind te counter at truckers pub Appie Happie.” – Hans Blik, managing director O.
