We zijn toch familie

When the Polman family heads to the Veluwe for an old‑fashioned family weekend, Evert (Paul de Leeuw) hopes—despite his divorce from Marjan (Annick Boer)—to reconnect with his children, Hannah (Renée de Gruijl) and Pieter (Martijn Kardol). But Marjan does not come alone: she brings along her new partner, Jan Dirk (Bart van Veldhoven), an overly enthusiastic life coach and sauna master who is eager to become part of the family.

Heated discussions about family history, pensions, parenthood, careers, the environment, private care homes and the future quickly cause tensions to rise. Between board games, strict house rules and sauna rituals, the family struggles to keep things pleasant at all times. But how long can they keep that up? Who is afraid of the truth? And who is afraid of the Veluwe wolf?

A musical comedy full of sharp satire and recognisable Dutch awkwardness. The makers of Ver van je bed (8 Musical Award nominations) present We zijn toch familie.

The show blends cabaret and musical theatre, combining the topical and socially critical edge of cabaret with the grand, immersive qualities of a musical. Written by Maarten Hopman, known from De Speld and Even tot hier, with brand‑new music by composer Ezra van Nassauw.
