On Friday 8 May 2026, something special will take place at the Schouwburg. We will be celebrating a monumental milestone: 50 years of Surinamese independence. Following an overwhelming success at the Nieuwe Luxor in Rotterdam, the spectacular theatre show 50: THE SECRET OF SURINAME brings this golden jubilee celebration to the heart of Brabant. Featuring legends such as Bryan B, Glenda Peters, Ed Rust, Lucille Young Afat, and John Oldenstam, it promises to be a musical and colourful journey that honours resilience and unique cultures.

Why this tour? Because the true strength of Suriname lies in its unparalleled diversity. We are travelling across the country to showcase that richness in every city and to celebrate together the unity and resilience of our history. This is the most complete theatre experience of the year: a dazzling ode to culture, filled with music and stories that will touch young and old alike.

Tilburg, this is your invitation to be part of a unique historical moment. Let yourself be carried away by a cast of absolute legends who bring the soul of Suriname to life on our stage. Secure your place today and let’s make history together on 8 May! Book your tickets now and join the celebration!
