Bureau Buitenschot De verleiders

In recent years, DE VERLEIDERS have made nine performances about power, banks, real estate fraud, healthcare, algorithms and AI. Consultancy plays a dubious role in all these themes. Therefore: Bureau Buitenschot, the power and proliferation of the consultancy industry.

An angry, razor-sharp satire about the administrative tumor that has been overgrowing our society for twenty years: external advice. The Parasite Guild.

A proliferation of organizational, advisory and strategy consultancies has paralyzed the Dutch government and undermined democracy. Consultants dump thick reports on the desks in The Hague, while victims are left with nothing. Because why would you use taxpayers' money to fix a scandal that is ravaging the population, when you can also let KPMG and McKinsey kick in open doors? Smooth guys who deny any liability and fill their fathomlessly deep pockets with public money. Your money.

Meanwhile, there is an ever-growing group of citizens who feel increasingly powerless and unseen because of these practices. They cannot get a home, are accused of fraud and have little future prospects.

This injustice is no longer tenable. What to do? THE SEDUCERS will give you unsolicited and unvarnished advice for an evening. And that for a modest hourly rate.
