Verona Verbakel - OnlyFans for Therapy

At an unspecified holiday destination, a woman is triggered. She realizes: there is (medical) no remedy for her problem. In short, a woman must go to therapy until the end of her days to avoid being a danger to society. Verbakel brings a theater performance about therapy, triggers, and revenge. 1x per week therapy times 52 weeks times the average life expectancy of a woman in Belgium at 84.3 years means another 2652 therapy sessions at €70 each. And we haven't even factored in inflation yet. Who is going to pay for that? Is it the responsibility of the victim, the perpetrator, or the government to settle this cost? What measures will this woman be forced to take to finance her personal growth? The title gives a hint, but no guarantees. This performance contains themes that may be experienced as emotionally taxing or triggering. We advise viewers to take this into account when deciding to attend the performance. Reviews: "Verbakel does this with videos that show pain, self-relativization, humor, even more pain, doubt, and an unbelievable amount of resilience." *** - Knack - Els Van Steenberghe "An emotional rollercoaster on a loaded theme. Pure. Honest." ****1/2 - Concertnews - Bert Hertogs "‘OnlyFans for Therapy’ asks an uncomfortable but necessary question: who can afford healing – and at what price?" Pzazz - Aïcha Mouhamou "Verona Verbakel turned that unbearable unfairness into a rock-solid, clever performance full of humor. That you dare not laugh because she is staring at you with her unbreakable gaze is your problem." - E-tcetera - Amber Maes "Actrice Verona Verbakel made one of the most gripping performances of last year with OnlyFans for Therapy. Screaming and coldly calculated, exhibitionistic and at the same time introverted. Verona Verbakel knows how to silence her audience. It has been since Lullaby for Scavengers van Kim Noble that we have seen docu-theater deployed so uncompromisingly." - De Standaard - Liv Laveyne Concept & acting: Verona Verbakel Eindregie: Karolien De Bleser Techniek: Bart Zwaenepoel, Maeuma Rai Fotograaf poster image: Els Vanopstal Fotograaf extra images: Alice Dooreman Fotograaf scene images: Soraya Azbiri Met thanks to: Arenberg, Kay Doms, Lies Pauwels, Valentijn Weyn, Bob Wouters
