That is the question De Verleiders explore in Zoek Dekking!. They dive into the mysterious world behind our pensions and insurance. A vast universe of promises, fine print, commissions, contributions and risk profiles that almost no one truly understands. And now, as the Netherlands transitions to a new pension system, the world feels increasingly unstable and the prospect of another financial crisis looms, the question becomes more urgent than ever: who bears the risk—and who reaps the rewards? Because one thing is certain: a lot of money is being made from our pensions.

With razor‑sharp wit, Zoek Dekking! tackles pressing social issues. Beneath the humour and satire lies a clear message: the pension system we have collectively built affects all of us—you, your children and your parents—both positively and negatively. It reveals that togetherness can also feel like isolation, and that nothing is quite what it seems.

For years, De Verleiders—founded by Tom de Ket, George van Houts and Inge Bos—have been a unique force in theatre. Their performances combine the urgency of cabaret with themes of power and money, in a way that is accessible to a broad audience.

Come laugh. Come understand. Come seek cover.
