De Stamhouder
Based on the bestseller by Alexander Münninghoff
Alexander Münninghoff's fascinating and autobiographical book, De Stamhouder, is coming to the theater! A top cast with Willem Voogd, Reinout Bussemaker and Lot van Lunteren takes you into this overwhelming family chronicle about a family torn apart by the Second World War. There was already a hit series on TV, but now this bestseller can finally be seen on stage.
When young Alexander Münninghoff finds an SS helmet belonging to his father in the attic and walks into the room with it, panic arises among the family. It is the beginning of a dizzying rollercoaster, full of secrets, intrigues and complicated family ties. A story in which major and minor histories are at each other's throats and the past continues to cast its shadow, even into the present. De Stamhouder is a moving theater performance that unravels how the war affects generations.
