Joel Borelli - Joie De Vivre ^{leesvoorstelling}

Joël Borelli lives on stage. For years, he has captivated every audience with his energy, musicality, and humor. From major festivals to sold-out venues like AFAS Live and the Ziggo Dome. In the spring of 2026, he will be the face of Bij ons in Brabant at the Philips Stadium. But besides the big stage, the theater beckons. In JOIE DE VIVRE, Joël takes you on a personal quest. Cycling towards Paris, in search of 'the man'—a mythical master of theater and success. Halfway there, he receives a phone call from the Netherlands. Asking if he wants to become the face of a major event at the Philips Stadium. Dream or certainty. Silence or the crowd. Church or fairground.

What follows is a sharp, funny, and musical performance in which Joël questions himself, celebrates life, and takes the audience along in his dilemma. With strong songs, humor, and unexpected twists. JOIE DE VIVRE is not a choice between two worlds, but a musical clash of ambition, doubt, and success. An energetic theater solo with a personal story, music, and humor.

The performance is being developed in collaboration with director Ruut Weissman (including Peter Pannekoek, Paul de Leeuw, Acda & De Munnik, Simone Kleinsma).
