Performance by Kiki Schippers - Practical Objections

She sings, she acts, she moves through a world full of contradictions as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

In *Praktische bezwaren*, she portrays characters who struggle with the impossibility of everyday life. Schippers is often described as a modern cross between Bob Dylan and Janis Joplin. That sounds like a bold claim, but it’s true. She has the songs, the originality, and the guts to do something no one else does. She won the audience award at both the Leiden Cabaret Festival and Cameretten. And the Annie M.G. Schmidt Prize for the best theater song of the season.

*Praktische bezwaren* is full of sketches and songs about things that don’t make sense but still exist. About contradictions that coexist. About objections that are practical but at the same time make everything impossible. This is cabaret for those who love something different. Not the standard stand-up routine, not the predictable joke. Rather, an evening that surprises, moves, and makes you laugh at things you’ve never laughed at before. Kiki Schippers is one of a kind. And that’s exactly what makes her so good.
