Who can talk about the medals won at the Olympic Games in London, but at the same time knows who Captain Haddock is? Who knows whether Lacan was a hair growth product or a psychoanalyst and can also program their own digital television? Who has déjà vu when leafing through the Encyclopedia Britannica and when reading the interviews with the new Miss Waregem Koerse? Who, oh who, is the smartest person in Flanders, Belgium, Europe, and by extension, the world? That is determined by a fierce battle between three fellow human beings. Every day, someone is eliminated, someone who may not be the smartest, but who is perhaps cherished in their family circle because of their many other talents.

NRWim Helsen is always witty, surprising, and pertinent: whether he is expressing his indignation as a good-natured soup distributor in 'Heden Soup!', preaching passion as a cunning demagogue in 'Bij mij zijt ge veilig', or championing better poetry as the Best Friend of Poetry in 'Man Bijt Hond'. Helsen mixes the best of cabaret, theater monologue, and poetry into a disarming individuality, bringing innovation and wonder to the stage.
