Theatre-maker
Boy Jonkergouw performed, produced, directed and wrote dozens of productions in the last 25 years. His work addresses the struggle of people that are poorly or wrongly understood by society. Sometimes he uses a verbatim and hyper realistic style, but just as often his theatre is humorous and absurd: humour is the lubricant for hard to swallow subjects.
