Jurrien van Rheenen - WELFARE

In the performance, they guide the audience to different places and fragments of these experiences, based on the conversations they've had.  

Jurrien's work explores how theatre can be used to make the effects of policies visible and tangible for those who work with them, those with lived experience, and those responsible for shaping them. By bringing together different groups of people, she uses the stage as a space to address the impact of these policies and to open a dialogue about them.
