Thou shalt love thy self

Stand-up comedian and singer Nina de la Parra [1987] is the daughter of a Surinamese father [Pim] and a Dutch mother [Djoeke]. She has the look of a bakra, a white person, but her adventures in Suriname are fiercer than a Madame Jeanette pepper.

For Boulevard she has distilled two programmes from her comedy-concert Thou shalt love thy self. Gods wegen [God moves] is about the Christian classes she attended in Paramaribo, the worst jokes about Jews, the authoritative correctness of Germans and her experiences at one hour-hotels in Suriname. Vaginabrain is a largely English-language string of obscenities about the double sexual standards in Western Europe and life on an organic zen-farm. Nina alternates her nefarious narratives with songs in English. And she brings a German hipster house band!

This performance plays at different moments starting from 15.00u. The playing times are communicated at the entrance of the tent, where tickets can also be purchased for the performances of the same day.
