Tulip Town

More info & tickets

Steef de Jong, Ilse Warringa, Rop Verheijen, Daniël Cornelissen, and Thor Braun shine in an irresistible mix of operetta, punk, humor, and cardboard magic!

In Tulip Town, we see how Romboïdal, Grand Marshal to the Count of Tulip Town, blames his wife Théodorine for their daughter Hermosa's boyish behavior. Alexis, Prince of Tulip Town, turns out to be remarkably gentle and gracious. As Hermosa and Alexis fall head over heels in love, they discover their parents had planned their lives quite differently...

Acclaimed theater maker Steef de Jong throws Offenbach's 19th-century operetta classic L’île de Tulipatan into a blender and serves up a cheerful plea for being who you are. Full of lightning-fast changes, androgynous costumes, spectacular cardboard sets, and swirling live music!
