Toeslagskandal

The performance Toeslagskandal tells the story of a Polish-Israeli man who, because of a simple administrative error, ends up in an endless battle with the Tax Office. As he fights to maintain his dignity, he faces distrust, social exclusion, and a government that violates his privacy.

With a limited command of the Dutch language and an addiction to alcohol, he is increasingly marginalized. His children struggle with their feelings about him, but to the rest of the world he has already been written off. After his death, he is recognized as a victim of the allowance affair, but the damage is irreparable.

A confrontational yet unusual performance about immigration, addiction, family ties, and a political system that can crush people.
