This weekend Chris Van Tongelen is working as one of the camp directors at The Hive
Chris Van Tonglen turns up at Rock Werchter, but not to celebrate. This weekend he’s working as one of the camp directors at The Hive. “The organization called me after I led the vaccination center in Poti during the coronavirus pandemic,” Chris explains.
In addition to acting and singing, Van Tongelen also has significant experience staging and producing musicals. However, he finds some time in his busy schedule to come and soak up the meadow with his daughter, Lily Jane, and partner, Anneliese. Who would they still like to see? Hu, the metal Hun from Mongolia. “I saw the description and thought, I have to check this out!”
