Diva's in de kerststal

A tragicomic Christmas revue full of glitter, mulled wine and embarrassing family secrets - that's how Mats Lodenstijn and Stephan Christiaan Peters describe their latest show. As the duo Diva's op Stal, they deliver hilarious sketches and touching moments, interspersed with Christmas carols. From Christmas stress to turkey disasters and from baby Jesus to ugly Christmas sweaters: nothing is sacred in this ode to the festival of light - and chaos.

Diva's op Stal stands at the intersection of musical theatre, cabaret and performance art. Mats and Stephan graduated cum laude from the conservatory in Tilburg. Stephan won the Kleinkunstprijs at the Ghent Festival, Mats played a leading role in Germany. After two tours through Dutch theatres and festivals - including De Parade last summer - they now perform a brand-new Christmas revue.
