For its first nomadic program of 2020, Vleeshal presented a performance by the Dutch artist Bert Scholten during The Performance Show in Rotterdam. The Performance Show is an initiative from Art Rotterdam for exceptional talent in performance art and took place from Friday 7 until Sunday 9 February 2020. 

Bert Scholten is often called a contemporary troubadour. In his work he resorts to a tradition in which songs where a means of spreading stories. Scholtens songs, with titles as De Paardenmishandelaar (The Horse Abuser), De Gefrustreerde Metropolitaan (The Frustrated Metropolitan) or Mina Koes, find their origin in old folk stories or local news items, often from the Northern Netherlands. Scholten investigates these stories and traces the different versions that often exist. In his performances he carries out the lyrics with instrumental accompaniment. For The Performance Show Scholten made a new version of his performance Zalvend from 2017, which he previously performed in a parking garage in Groningen and on the Zuidas in Amsterdam. Just as folk tales change over time and take on new forms and meanings, Scholten adjusted his song to the new context in which the performance took place.
