De toestand in de wereld volgens Harm Edens - Harm Edens

From autumn 2025, Harm Edens will travel through the Netherlands with his theater college The situation in the world according to Harm Edens. a performance in which his urge to turn the world a nicer and nicer place is central. Because we all made a mess of it, say.

Harm is now 63 and all his life he is already hit by the condition in the world. " As a child I saw a boy suffering from hunger in Biafra, then the carpet bombing in Vietnam, the report" The boundaries to the growth of the club of Rome "and later as a TV maker the melting glaciers on Spitsbergen. In particular, it is that experience that made me spend most of my daily work on making a better, illuminable world. But lately I think more and more often: it is only getting any crazier in the world. We consume too crush, we scold each other on X, we get up and grant each other less and less, people are replaced by AI, while AI helps the world even further kidding through the great energy consumption. ”

Harm wants to talk to the public. “ Do you really need that Airfryer, Henk? You already have three winter coats, Josien, that fourth really has to be added? ”in a cheerful tone and with a lot of humor, Harm takes the people through the idiocy of our collective behavior and he points out how things can be done differently and better, without losing fun.

Because that is the core of Harms existing: do everything with pleasure. “ I grew up in a joyless family, in which nothing was celebrated, was not enjoyed where humor did not exist, in which I was not seen. These experiences have formed me to whatever I am: someone who approaches the idiotic life with a lot of humor, remains optimistic (usually then) and enjoys as much as possible. That is why I also tell about that forming side of my life . "

" It will be an evening full of uncomfortable truths, enlightening insights and especially a lot of humor. Because if nothing else remains, we will at least laugh with each other. ”
