Kruidkoek + Joost Oomen

Kruidkoek en Joost Oomen did two productions together: "Vruchtjes Eten" (Eating Fruit) in 2019 and 'Tuut Tuut Kwantumschuim' ('Honk Honk Quantum Foam') in 2022. With these shows they toured many Dutch theaters and festivals. In 2025 a new show will appear in many theaters across the Netherlands.

A musical and literary show about happiness.

Writer and poet Joost Oomen and garagejazzband Kruidkoek will let you involve in a research about happiness. What is happiness? What's the use of happiness in a world that's being ruled by politics settled in specter and fear? And most important: why fruit? One thing is certain: you'll walk away smiling. Check out the single Vruchtjes Eten on Spotify!

Quirky futuristic show about degeneration.

Tuut Tuut Kwantumschuim is a performance about space. Or, to be precise, a performance about space where humankind is not present. In about five billion years, the sun will run out of hydrogen, resulting in swelling so large it will swallow up planet Earth. As humans, we have two choices: going down toghether with our planet, or leave our solar system before this moment. For Joost Oomen & Kruidkoek this is a lovely starting point for a performance.
