De Verleiders
A pitch-black comedy about pensions, insurance, and the price of certainty.
De Verleiders strike again with a razor-sharp theatrical piece about morality at the top of the business world and our financial responsibility. You pay, you invest, you sign and you trust that everything will work out later. But how certain is 'certain' when your retirement is in sight? In 'Seek Cover!' De Verleiders dive into the world of pensions and insurance: a universe of promises, small print and commissions that hardly anyone really sees through… until things go wrong.
And just as the Netherlands is switching 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? Because one thing is certain: an obscene amount of money is being made from our pensions. You pay, you invest, you sign and you trust that it will all work out in the end. But how certain is 'certain' when your pension finally comes into view?
As only De Verleiders can do it, 'Seek Coverage!' promises an evening full of satire, speed and revelations. With razor-sharp dialogues, shocking facts and scenes that are simultaneously hilarious and painfully recognizable, they expose a system that affects us all. Because this is not just about 'the sector', but about our future. Come laugh. Come understand. Come seek coverage.
