A pitch-black comedy about pensions, insurance, and the price of certainty. Are you secure for the future? You pay. You make contributions, you invest, you sign. You trust that things will work out later. But how certain is 'certain' still when your retirement is finally in sight?

In Zoek Dekking!, De Verleiders dive into the world behind our pensions and insurance: a universe of promises, fine print, commissions, and 'risk profiles' that almost no one truly sees through…until things go wrong. And precisely now, as the Netherlands transitions to a new pension system, the world is on fire, and a new financial crisis looms, that question becomes more urgent than ever: who bears the risk, and who profits? For one thing is certain: an obscene amount of money is being made from our pensions.

As only De Verleiders can, Zoek Dekking! promises an evening full of satire, speed, and revelations. With razor-sharp dialogue, shocking facts, and scenes that are simultaneously hilarious and painfully recognizable, they expose a system that affects us all. Because this isn't about 'the sector'. This is about your future. And that of your children and parents. About what we have collectively built and how quickly the feeling can arise that you are ultimately on your own, including De Verleiders themselves. This time in the lineup with George van Houts, Tom de Ket, Victor Löw, Peter Blok, and Dick van den Toorn.

De Verleiders have been a unique phenomenon for years: theatre with the urgency of cabaret, about power and money, accessible to a broad audience. Come laugh. Come understand. Come take cover. And go home with one question that lingers: Is our certainty nothing more than an illusion?.

Topfotograaf Govert de Roos is net zo iconisch als de portretten die hij van veel van zijn (inter)nationaal bekende modellen mocht maken. In zijn theatervoorstelling Van Hazes tot Playboy geeft hij je een kijkje door zijn lens en sta je naast hem, achter de camera. Hij vertelt bijzondere verhalen en anekdotes en zal je verrassen met voor hem dierbare foto’s.

We know Marjolijn from her previous, sold-out shows about panic, worrying, and pills. Her honest, deadpan cabaret full of self-mockery is a genre in itself and draws full houses throughout the Netherlands. In this show, she wonders why we only appreciate life when someone is dead. Or sick. Couldn't that happen a little sooner? Do people have to die before we feel alive? Black humor, sensitive songs, and shameless stories; that is Van Kooten through and through. It certainly won't be her fault if she doesn't.
