Alex Roeka - Op Drift

'The highway is my home.' Alex Roeka doesn't just sing it - he lives it. In his new show Op Drift, the life of a touring artist takes centre stage: no fixed home, and when you arrive - often in the middle of the night - the place feels empty and strange. After years on the road, you find home in cars, theatres, cafés and petrol stations.

Alex Roeka has performed at Kantine Walhalla before with shows like Voort!, Rauwe Genade, Nieuwe Dromen and Nachtcafé. Now he returns with a musical travel report about life without roots - uprooted, yet for those who can handle it, on the whole pleasant, and spiritually not without consequences: you stay in motion and remain sensitive to change and adventure.

Theaterkrant wrote about his previous show Nachtcafé: "The clever selection he has made from his work of the past ten years is broader, deeper, more musical... when drummer Jeroen Kleijn and musical multi-instrumentalist (guitar, bass, banjo, keys, vocals) Reyer Zwart join in, suddenly there's a solid rock band... What a delight." - critic's choice.
