Join Ontroerend Goed’s artistic director Alexander Devriendt for a post-show dialogue exploring the unique participatory experience of Handle with Care. Created to be performed without actors or a stage crew, the responsibility for performing the show rests entirely in the hands of the audience.

Designed for participants of Handle with Care to process and digest what they experienced at the performances, this dialogue session will seek to unpack what happens when strangers are asked to care for one another, and how such moments reveal the fragile dynamics that shape human connection.

This conversation offers a space to reflect on risk, empathy, and the possibilities that emerge when we navigate uncertainty collectively. Participants are highly encouraged to attend a performance of Handle with Care prior to this dialogue.

This is a companion programme to Handle with Care (7 & 8 Aug, 3, 5 & 6 Sep 2026) at Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay. The Studios companion programmes are an invitation to deepen engagement with the artistic works and conversations raised in the season.
