Job Knoester
What do we really know about TBS (the Dutch system of court-ordered psychiatric detention)? In this theatre lecture, criminal defence lawyer Job Knoester offers a unique glimpse into a world that remains closed to many. Who ends up in a TBS clinic, and why? And who ultimately poses the greater risk: a former TBS patient or a former prisoner?
Together with journalist Dennis Jansen of the AD, Knoester takes the audience through some high-profile cases. With sharp analysis and personal stories – including from someone with first-hand experience of working in a TBS clinic – myths are debunked and taboos broken. The audience gains a rare perspective on a subject everyone has an opinion about, but few truly know anything about. And for once, they get to be the jury themselves.
This theatre lecture is not only informative but also interactive. Visitors can ask questions and talk with the speakers. A confronting and interactive evening full of sharp insights and surprising perspectives – with room for nuance, humour and reflection.
After a successful first tour, Job Knoester is taking this fascinating theatre lecture about TBS on the road once again.
