Rob Kemps

Theater en toneel

The greatest chansonnier of all time is not French. He is a Belgian from Flanders who spoke French. A man from Schaerbeek, who left home and hearth to achieve world fame in Paris. He then wandered around the world, via Berlin, Moscow and New York, finally finding peace on an island deep in the Pacific Ocean. He spent his last days at Hiva Oa. And that's where he is buried.

For Rob Kemps it is clear: Jacques Brel is the greatest. After the success ofHeaven on Earth, the subject for his next program was already ready. In Don't Leave Me Rob now takes us around the world. In the footsteps of Brel. He talks about the music and especially the life of his hero with equal parts humor and emotion. And therefore also about his own life. Rob has no choice. Because a life without Brel is no life.
