In Vestdijks famous novel a group of travellers is assembled in a waiting lobby. The last judgement is near, their lives are being scrutinized. Jan Jaap van der Wal and the Rosa Ensemble were inspired by this story. De Kellner en de Levenden ("The Waiter and the Living") is a piece about atonement, taking responsibility and making choices. Like the characters in Vestdijks novel Jan Jaap van der Wal was asked to confess his sins. He performs as he does best: snappy, critical and intelligent. The combination with Rosa’s music forms an unusual encounter: a sharp-witted, at times ominous, and humorous correlation between music theatre, comedy and literature, at the crossroad of these different disciplines.
