It’s the New Year – so here are some bits from last year

A very Happy New Year to you all, and may 2015 bring you joy! To help with that, whilst Greg is busy ironing his ties for the new season in February, we have collected his monologues all in one place. So sit down and enjoy some bitesize United States of Europe.

The Sinterklaas monologue

Greg Shapiro provides a whirlwind tour of the Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations, from the dark/light pagan roots of the winter solstice, to the gradual shift of public attitudes regarding the figure of Zwarte Piet.

 

and so the end is near……

It was the last show of the season and we went out on a high. By crashing into the debate about the changing Zwarte Piet. Greg was joined by Lauren Comiteau, Cole Verhoeven and Jonathan Groubert and discussed the how Zwarte Piet is changing his face and what this means for Dutch culture. Is this for the better? Does it matter? Catch the show here and see what they had to say. There was a lot to talk about, too much to fit into the show. So catch the second part of the discussion here. Who wants the ugly mirror held up to their face?

It’s Zwarte Piet Unchained

Tuesday 25th November, it’s the last show of the season!! It’s a big one, Greg and his guests – Lauren Comiteau, Cole Verhoeven and Jonathan Groubert discuss how Zwarte Piet is changing, for the better? Find out tonight on Salto 1 at 21.30
