Wijnand Stomp, a.k.a. Mister Anansi, turns folktales from around the world into theatre for all ages. He is a unique link in the world of narrative traditions and over the years he has managed to carve out his own spot in the world of theatre and storytelling.

Over the years he has developed a style that is entirely his own. His energetic mix of physical, musical, visual and textual elements makes for powerful performances. With humour, contagious cheek and a dash of wisdom Wijnand Stomp is able to move audiences of all ages. He has an exceptional mimicry and his easy and flexible voice enables him to change parts instantly infusing his words with strong imaginative power. As soon as the snake of his stories starts twisting and turning you are, for a brief moment, taken to a different world.
