Freek de Jonge is a celebrity in the Dutch cabaret and theater world. Freek and his wife Hella, the designer, together form an exceptionally creative team. On the evening before the early parliamentary elections, 21 November 2006, De Jonge presented an election conference that was broadcast live on television. For an hour and a half he commented on the political events of that year in a comical and
… original way. 2006 was therefore a 'fruitful' year, with interesting topics such as the rise of the right-wing parties, the Party for the Animals, the departure of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the 'wizard of Oss' Marijnissen, the 'consistently clumsy' JP Balkenende, Iron Rita, Ozewiezewoze Van der Laan, the Lingo issue and the Nijmegen Four Days Marches. De Jonge spares nothing and no one and makes us laugh at what actually makes us cry. This DVD also contains the four episodes of the VPRO television program De Stemmingmakerij, in which De Jonge travels through the country to gauge the mood of ordinary people. (SvdP)more
