Laat me niet alleen - Rob Kemps
The greatest chansonnier of all time is not a Frenchman. He is a Belgian from Flanders who spoke French. A man from Schaerbeek who left hearth and home to win worldwide fame in Paris. After that he roamed the world, travelling via Berlin, Moscow and New York before finally finding peace on an island deep in the Pacific Ocean. He spent his last days on Hiva Oa. And that is where he lies buried.
After the success of his show Hemel op aarde, the subject of his next show was already waiting: Jacques Brel. In Laat me niet alleen, Rob takes us around the world. In Brel’s footsteps. With as much humour as emotion, Rob tells of the music and above all the life of his hero. And in doing so, of his own life too. He can’t help it. Because a life without Brel is no life at all.
