Jordy Van Loon Performs Louis Davids - The Great, Small Man

In the heyday of variety theatre, before the First World War, the stage was the pinnacle of achievement for a Dutch artist. In 1906, former circus performer Louis Davids broke through and captured the hearts of the Dutch public with songs like 'Dat is die kleine Man', 'Oh mooie Westertoren' and 'Als je voor een dubbeltje geboren bent'. With his musicals 'De Jantjes' and 'Nou tabé Dan', he made the leap from popular singer to the more refined variety theatre - while remaining a national hero.

His early death has ensured that his work and name continue to inspire. Singer Jordy van Loon takes the audience on a journey to discover who Louis Davids was and what he meant to Dutch song.

Jordy van Loon has been performing for years: his number-one hit 'Verliefdheid' is etched in many memories, and in productions such as 'Haal het doek maar Op' and 'Titanic' he developed into a mature performer with a pronounced love for authentic Dutch repertoire.
