Handle with Care is theatre stripped down to its essence. No actors, no technicians. Just a box. And you.  

A box is mailed to the theatre.  

The instructions are clear:

Invite a group of people, on a specific night, at a specific time.

Let the audience take their seats.

Place the box at the centre of the stage.

The audience is waiting.

And then an audience member stands up and opens the box.

The show has started.

In Handle with Care, Ontroerend Goed puts you in control. They provide the structure; you shape the experience. Choose your role - take the lead or observe as others make choices that steer the performance in unexpected directions. Together, you create something special: a shared experience filled with reflections on time, transience, and togetherness. And don’t worry - there are no wrong choices in Handle with Care. You’ve got this. For one hour, you’ll live something unique, fleeting, and unrepeatable. Here. Now. Together. No one is watching. What is yours, stays yours. Take good care of it. And send us a postcard.
