Accessible Performances:

This year we are working with Extant to help make all our shows as accessible as possible to audiences with visual impairments. As part of this we have asked our companies to record an audio introduction to their show. Click to listen to our audio introduction.

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 behavior, 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 behavior, inviting the audience to reflect on power, complicity and credibility.

Age Guidance: 16+

We strongly encourage pre-purchasing tickets ahead of your arrival at ZOO, which will help speed up waiting and admission times. Doors typically open 5 minutes before the advertised start time. We operate eTicketing.
