Rüdsichtslos - Ruud Smulders
After a life-changing RUDIVERSUM tour, crowned with five-star reviews, packed houses and a Neerlands Hoop nomination, Smulders once again wins over audiences and critics alike with RÜDSICHTSLOS.
In RÜDSICHTSLOS, Ruud once again catapults his elastic body across the stage, firing his absurd thoughts into the auditorium with unprecedented speed and energy. Once again the audience also gets to see Ruud’s vulnerable, sincere side. A calm, thoughtful young man who not only delivers a well-aimed life lesson, but at times also gently takes your hand and leads you into his world of madness.
His previous show called on the audience to love those who cannot love themselves. In RÜDSICHTSLOS, Ruud asks a new question: how much do we actually love ourselves? And what happens if we dare to do so more?
Ruud also adds an extra layer. Where he used to look mainly inwards, he now turns his sharp gaze on the world around him. An engaged voice we hadn’t heard from him before, but one that hits all the harder.
