taal event: Engels

With the Russian invasion on Ukraine, war has returned to Europe. The ongoing conflict has highlighted significant security deficits in European countries and therefore this event will be about how Europe can adapt to the new threats in the modern era.

To discuss this topic, Dutch Lieutenant-General Martin Wijnen will talk about international security changes in response to the war in Ukraine. He is currently the commander of the Land Forces of the Royal Netherlands Army, where his most important task lies in ensuring that Army units are mission-ready. He is responsible for preparing, leading and concluding military operations. 

The event will be interactive with plenty of opportunities for participants to ask questions about the topic, which he will answer from his perspective as Chief of the Army.

Op 5 mei komt Lale Gül naar CREA als onderdeel van de Vrijheidscolleges!

Lale Gül (1997) is schrijver en debuteerde in 2021 op drieëntwintigjarige leeftijd met de bestseller Ik ga leven. In deze autobiografische roman beschrijft ze haar worsteling met de verwachtingen die haar streng islamitische ouders en omgeving van haar hebben, en waar ze zich steeds meer aan onttrekt. Als jonge, hoogopgeleide, rebelse jonge vrouw past ze niet meer in het plaatje van haar ouders, wat leidt tot conflicten. Momenteel werkt ze aan haar tweede boek en is ze columnist bij o.a. het Parool. Onlangs riep EW (Elsevier Weekblad) haar uit de Nederlander van het jaar.

“Als vrijheid beknot wordt door de verwachtingen die ouders van je hebben, die gebaseerd zijn op strenge religieuze normen en waarin mannen en vrouwen structureel anders behandelen, dan heb je geen vrijheid om jezelf te zijn en te ontwikkelen. Dus moest ik afscheid nemen van die ouderlijke omgeving. En dat is moeilijk, maar ook een opluchting”.

Dit vrijheidscollege gaat over de vrijheid van het individu ten opzichte van het collectief.

“The outside world will not be so kind to us. We all know that. Out there, the beasts would eat us. Good kids shall go to bed when it is sleeping time, or the wolves will hunt them down.”

Inspired on the documentary from 2015 and many stories we hear from all around the world, we created ‘The Wolfpack’. What happens when you’ve spent your whole childhood inside, imprisoned between the four walls of your apartment with your brothers and sisters? What happens to your reality when you have no clue what the real world is all about? And what if the only thing you own is five thousand dvd’s? 

From pure boredom, the brothers and sisters start to reenact all kind of movie scenes. The line between fiction and reality slowly fades away. 

And then, on yet another boring day, the oldest brother walks to the door and decides to step outside. A play about loyalty, identity and self deceit. 

20h show The Rumble

Two teams, one host and a heck of a lot of fun. Each team will challenge the other team to a series of game and there is only one winner.

21h show Meet the Cast

We loved our first Meet the Cast show so we are doing another. A new host, a new set of question and new information you never knew before.

22h show The Jam Show

Put your name in a hat and you may get a chance to come on stage and play too! An easylaughs MC will guide you through a bunch of short form improv games.

Spaces are limited.  Booking online is required.

Tickets are non-refundable. Please contact info@easylaughs.nl in case of unforeseen circumstances.
