Andre Manuel - The Lonely Soul (try-out)

With his twentieth solo programme 'The Lonely Soul', André Manuel plays the last comedian on Earth - a man who must make a room full of blood-angry Artificial Intelligence laugh.

The stakes are high: Death or Gladioli. Will he manage to amuse the machine, or will it throw a fit and send a flesh-eating robot off the stage that reduces humanity to livestock? The fate of all mankind hangs in the balance.

'The Lonely Soul' is the third and final part of a trilogy about man, mankind and humanity. Part one was 'The Sick Mind', part two 'The Divine Body'. This is the grand finale.

What the press wrote about 'The Divine Body' - NRC: "On piercing electric guitar he sings a beautiful song in stubborn Twents. Where is John Lennon when you need him." Friesch Dagblad: "The master of the twist. He scrapes along your conscience with rough then fine sandpaper and delivers you as a spectator afterwards clean again. Briefly stripped of all double-heartedness. A catharsis pur sang."
