The press about the performance 'Welcome Discomfort'
-
NRC ★★★★★: “Wim Helsen does it again. The Flemish comedian once again proves himself to be an unsurpassed Ti Ta Wizard, the man who stops time in the theater without you realizing it. 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 out his antics on the audience.”
-
NRC ★★★★★: “Being the ultimate fool, and still moving: that is mastery.”
-
De Volkskrant ★★★★: “Wim Helsen knows how to turn it into a beautiful, witty and sensitive theater monologue. He uses his entire toolbox as a theater maker: his idiosyncratic humor and his special facial expressions.”
