Met o.a. de balk, de onderwaterscene en de zeilramp Bandkaai is het zesde theaterprogramma van de Rotterdamse theatermakers Martin van Waardenberg en Wilfried de Jong. De typische Waardenberg en de Jong aanpak isl in Bandkaai zeker weer te zien. Performance afgewisseld met miniatuurtjes van toneelspel. Grootse en wezenloze decorstukken. Schoonheid maar ook afbraak. Harde klanken naast stille beelden. Fysieke uitputting en tevens serene rust. Chaos en orde tegelijk. Waardenberg en de Jong zijn niet te vangen.

Gerijpt duo vertoont sensationeel herenleed

Waardenberg en de Jong blijven eigenwijs zoeken naar verrassende acts. Het tweetal heeft een hekel aan voorspelbaarheid, het accepteert geen grenzen, ook niet die van het opgeplakte etiket. De visuele en fysieke aanpak vormt wederom een hoofdbestanddeel van dit theaterprogramma. Waardenberg en de Jong zijn gebleven, verder is alles nieuw. Je kunt alles verwachten, ze leren het nooit.

In hun derde programma 'Jool Hul', dat vernoemd is naar een vrijersplek langs de snelweg tussen Amersfoort en Apeldoorn, slaan ze op elkaar in met reigers en in de meesterlijke wijn-en-spuug-scène rochelt Van Waardenberg in de wijd opengesperde mond van De Jong.

In their second show, Waardenberg & de Jong attack each other with yoghurt, paint, water and wood glue. They end as sea lions, diving in a pool from a water slide.
