Ce vendredi 27 septembre 2024, une maison de retraite belge a organisé un strip-tease pour ses résidents.
It all started with a joke made two months ago by the occupational therapist at the Heiberg retirement home near Turnhout in Belgium: “What if we organized a striptease”?” asked”Dorien Deboel. Appointment is made.
“Everyone should be able to have fun”
The nursing home, which organizes a birthday party every two months with dancing and singing performances, has shaken up its habits somewhat. Just like those of its residents who, against all expectations, “reacted positively”to the news, report 7sur7.
A stripper and a stripper have therefore been hired for a visibly "olé-olé" show this Friday, September 27: "As we have male and female boarders, there is a stripper and a stripper. Everyone should be able to have fun", said the director of the establishment.
"The woman was really very flexible"
The residents were delighted, report our colleagues from 7sur7 : "It was incredible, I really enjoyed it. “They can come back whenever they want,” said Ivona, a resident, after the show.
“The woman was really very flexible. It reminded me of the time when I used to dance myself", she confided.
However, the Heiberg retirement home preferred to avoid full nudity during the show: "We want to keep a certain elegance", specified the director Tina De Maesschalck who was keen to emphasize the quality of life in this care and rest center: "Coming to live here does not mean that life and pleasure suddenly stop", she concluded.
