Joey Roukens: Vi Amai

Lucas Wiegerink: opera Bremer Straatmuzikanten

A discarded donkey playing the double bass, a hoarse rooster with a trumpet, an old dog playing percussion and a cat singing. Four animals together form a colourful group. In the eyes of the people, the animals are too old or no longer suitable to do their work.
