Thijs and Dieuwertje receive Ernst Daniel Smit & Jeroen Zijlstra

'Zielsverwanten' is a musical online music program in which theatre-maker/musician Thijs Breasts and presenter Dieuwertje Blok receive 2 musical guests whose souls are related to each other. This kinship is visualised with the help of songs, interviews and film.

The program is integrated into a theatre and is a combination of music, talk show and documentary. Before the recordings take place in the theatre, theatre-maker Thijs Breasts, armed with his camera and his guests, travels to places that have been of great importance to them and which influenced their later formation. With these images and all the personal information he has collected, in addition to existing musical repertoire, new material is composed. On the basis of the film footage and the collected music, Dieuwertje Blok asks the shirt of the body between the songs by the guests.
