Karnivoale

Like a traveling carnivale, the creators of the cheerful show ‘Karnivoale’ tour the villages of Groningen’s Hogeland region. The performers - including Alina Kiers, Frank den Hollander, Jan Veldman, and Carmen Schilstra - have been making theater and music together for over thirty years. They’re perfectly in sync with each other, are both colleagues and friends, and are all way past the age of sixty. They have absolutely no intention of quitting. And why would they, when creating brings them so much joy? Filmmaker Fleur Nonnekes (‘Kon Minder’) follows the troupe during performances and rehearsals. She herself is not yet thirty, is just starting her career, and already feels tired. As she grows closer to the performers - and particularly sees herself reflected in Alina - she sets out to discover the secret behind their boundless energy and inexhaustible creative drive.
