‘I’m only six. Tom, I’ve got your knife. (Pom pom pom.)’ Remember this children’s film classic? Mees accidentally has his best friend Tim’s penknife in his trouser pocket – just when Tim turns out to have moved away out of the blue. Mees sets off on his own, through a world that sometimes feels far too big for a six-year-old boy. He does everything he can to get the knife back to his friend – by letter, through an advert, by train. In secret, because his dad mustn’t find out. But whatever he tries, nothing seems to work. Until Mees hears about a talent show on television that will be watched all over the Netherlands. All over the Netherlands – so Tim will see it too! With a brand-new drum, two sticks and a song full of secret code, he steps onto the stage and sings.

Het Zakmes (6+) is based on the book by Sjoerd Kuyper, but is at least as well known as a feature film (1992) and TV series (1993) – for which it won countless awards. Jeugdtheater Carrousel brings this nostalgic 1990s audience favourite to the stage for the first time. Quirky and contemporary, but just as moving, adventurous and funny as it was back then. Because the story is timeless. About friendship and saying goodbye, about growing up and becoming independent. And about the courage to act.
