Herman Finkers: EHBO Is Mijn Lust En Mijn Leven

First aid is my passion and my life. One traffic light turns red, another turns green: there's always something to do in Almelo. One of Herman Finkers' most famous quotes. Herman Finkers has been writing and performing theater programs since 1979. His programs are difficult to describe. He was probably best described in the Utrechts Nieuwsblad: 'master of the double punchline,' 'witty excess that does no harm,' 'sublime nonsense.' EHBO is my passion and my life is Herman Finkers' fourth program, recorded in the Leidse Schouwburg.

The Last Fistful of Land

'L'ultimo pugno di terra' (The Last Fistful of Land) is a 1966 documentary film directed by Fiorenzo Serra about the anguish and instability of the lower classes in a destitute Sardinia. Originally commissioned by the Sardinian regional government as a celebratory piece on the 'miraculous' effects of the 'Piano di Rinascita della Sardegna' (Sardinia's Rebirth Plan), the film instead shows an island still 'standing still in time', barely affected by the painful oxymoron of the inevitable changes taking place.
