60 minutesPlayground 3
The Ego is a bold and humorous theatre performance by Anemone Valcke and Verona Verbakel (known from Sirens by Ontroerend Goed). They explore how transgressive behaviour, internalised misogyny and #MeToo shape their lives. With two chairs, a screen and sharp wit, they share real stories with shameless honesty. Blending dry humour and tragically comic film clips, the show is both confronting and entertaining. Without blaming victims or pointing fingers at perpetrators, The Ego humorously exposes the dysfunctional system behind such behaviour, inviting the audience to reflect on power, complicity and credibility. https://www.instagram.com/veronaverbakel/
