De Twintigers (The Twenties) consist of a dozen young writers, led by Joost Oomen and Wout Waanders, who all made their debut during the corona pandemic. In addition to Joost and Wout, the group consists of Simone Atangana Bekono, Helena Hoogenkamp, Sholeh Rezazadeh, Mattijs Deraedt, Yentl van Stokkum, Marjolein Visser, Hans Depelchin, Dorien de Wit, Roos Vlogman and Loes Wijnhoven. Since these writers did not get the chance to present their debuts on stage to the general public during the pandemic, they will visit various stages in the Netherlands and Belgium in 2022, including PAARD!
