Wim Helsen - Welcome Discomfort

A performance with a message. It goes like this: Pain is your friend. Boredom is your friend. Discomfort is your friend. Wim Helsen is your friend. That will be a laugh! Bye now! ‘As always of great class.’ - De Volkskrant (*****) ‘Wim Helsen pulls it off again. De Vlaamse comedian shows himself once again to be an unsurpassed Ti Ta Tovenaar, the man who, without you realizing it, stops time in the theater. And takes you on a journey you don't see coming.’ - NRC (*****) ‘At the same time, Helsen remains a fascinating stage personality, whom you watch with your mouth open as he generously and incessantly pours his antics over the audience.’ - NRC (*****) ‘Being the ultimate jester, and yet moving: that is mastery.’ - NRC (*****) ‘Wim Helsen knows how to make it a beautiful, witty, and sensitive theater monologue. In doing so, he uses his entire toolbox as a theater maker: his quirky humor and his special facial expressions.’ - De Volkskrant (*****) By and with: Wim Helsen (text, acting) | Johan Petit, Theo Maassen (direction) | Marc Heinz, Wilfred Loopstra (set design) | Joris Pesic, Joachim Verheyen (technique) | That’s All Right - Elvis Presley (music) | Bunker Theaterzaken (NL) (production, tour planning) | Jimmie Dimmick (BE) (tour planning) | Koen Broos (image)
