TOGETHER IN CARE
a theatrical walk through head and hart

How can we take care of our mental well-being together? What does it mean to feel truly at home somewhere - with yourself, with each other and in the world? In Together in Care, community theatre maker Brecht Hermans goes in search of answers. Not alone, but together with two co-makers who each bring a personal story.
In this third part of the ongoing project Samen in Zorg (Together in Care), they create a place where everyone is welcome - with room for lightness and play, and for the depth of real encounters. A place where you are allowed to be as you are. No better location than Buitenplaats Brienenoord: a peaceful green oasis in Rotterdam, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and close to yourself.
The performance is a walk across the island, where theatre and nature merge. Along the way, you meet extraordinary characters, inspired by Georg Büchner's play Woyzeck - about a man who gets lost in his head and in the world. But behind the characters, you increasingly see the real actors appear. Their stories become your mirror.
This creates a gentle, open experience in which you, the spectator, are taken into a world of connection, reflection and togetherness. And hopefully you will take something of that world with you, back into the city.
Together in care #3 is performed on location at Buitenplaats Brienenoord on 21, 27 and 28 june 2025.
