Thjum Arts - Hoe Heeft Het Zo Ver Kunnen Komen (try-out) ^try-out

Do you remember Thjum? He made his debut in Walhalla with Tijdloos Genot. After first winning both the jury and audience prizes of the Cameretten Festival (in 2021).

And now he's back. With his second performance How Did It Come To This? For this show, Thjum takes stock. Because there's quite a bit going on at the moment. All those situations. There's something about those situations. Sometimes you wonder: how did it get to this point? Thjum often has that. That is why it has become the title of his new (second) performance.
