In 2014, Lucas de Man showed us how to open a freezer theatrically. In 2015 we gave him the run of our stage. Our opening and closing acts are created by him and his team.

Lucas is the artistic leader of Company New Heroes (De Nieuwe Helden), that will not only be responsible for lighting and stage setting, but will also coordinate this year’s additional performing acts.
