The general public will know Claudia de Breij from Utrecht mainly from radio and television programs. But theater has always been her big dream. When she was rejected at the Kleinkunstacademie, she had to look for other ways. Such as taking cabaret lessons with Malinca Verwiel and scouring festivals. At the same time, De Breij developed as a reporter and presenter for radio and television, first at
… the Utrecht City Broadcast and later in Hilversum for BNN, NPS and VARA. Together with keyboardist Sander Geboers, guitarist Rogier Wagenaar and bass guitarist Thijs Lodewijk, De Breij makes full-length theater programs. Her debut program De Wilde Frisheid is the bonus DVD to the DVD Claudia Zuigt. The poster of this second theater program caused a great stir in the Christian town of Putten: a nude painted Claudia as the paradisiacal Eva with a vacuum cleaner. De Breij has many questions for God: about Adam and Eve, the fall, Jesus. Serious issues are interspersed with funny statements about tattoos, giving birth and giving birth, bachelorette days, bisexuality, baby boomers and little talks. Including beautiful Dutch pop songs.
