Welcome to 'De Bingo Show': the most musical bingo experience in the Netherlands, where Maartje & Kine defy fate with glittering balls, beautiful prizes, a flood of musical talent, and razor-sharp cabaret.
Life is a lottery; you can draw lucky numbers or strike bad luck – and no one knows in advance. The Bingo Show is a lottery and theater show in one. Two for the price of one, then! In this performance, Maartje and Kine are more honest, ruthless, and funnier than ever. Their twenties are long gone; not all numbers on the bingo card are face up anymore.
Drawing on their own life experiences, dreams of the future, and nightmares, they passionately sing of the tragicomic sides of life: a father who forgets he has Alzheimer's, the love of your life who is happy with someone else, your much-too-late revenge fantasy about that bully from primary school.
Maartje and Kine effortlessly lead you from Brahms to beatbox and from Franz Schubert to Frans Bauer. Meanwhile, they keep more musical balls in the air than the bingo machine can spit out. Expect an insane postmodern bingo show featuring the most beautiful classical music and zany singalongs. And if you don't know the first thing about music, there are always covetable prizes to be won! What will it be: a trip to Ibiza or a box of broken light bulbs?
