While the smoke clouds above global flashpoints grow thicker, Arend Jan Boekestijn, Rob de Wijk and host Hugo Reitsma return to the stage after three successful tours. In their brand‑new end‑of‑year show, the fearless trio takes you through a year in which the old world order is not only under pressure, but threatens to fall apart into a thousand pieces.

From the muddy trenches in Ukraine and the shockwaves of America First 2.0 to the accelerating AI war: everything comes into play in this evening full of knowledge and current affairs. Boekestijn & De Wijk guide you through the chaos and outline strategic frameworks that can help us stay upright in this new world order.

An interactive evening that will make you think, but also make you laugh. Because if the world truly no longer has a manual, there is fortunately still plenty to talk about.
