Alexandra Jaquet - Hand Conversations, the Experience

On Saturday 7 November, during the opening festival, the concept Handconversaties van Alexandra Jacquet pops up throughout the entire building. Not a performance to watch, but an experience to live yourself. Take a seat at a table opposite someone you don't know. After a brief moment of silence, the conversation begins. Not with words, but with your hands. Through movement, attention, and improvisation, a unique encounter is created that no one can predict in advance. You don't need any special skills. There are no right or wrong answers. Curiosity is enough. Some experience the encounter as playful and surprising, others as touching or calming. Every hand conversation is different, because every encounter is different. A haven of peace in a world full of stimuli In a festival full of impressions, Hand Conversations forms a special haven of peace. A place where you slow down for a moment, pay attention to a stranger, and perhaps discover something about yourself. Step inside, pull up a chair, and let yourself be surprised by what happens when words fall away for a moment. Would you rather watch than participate? Curious to see how Hand Conversations develops into a shared artistic experience? A few days earlier, Alexandra Jacquet opens our new hall UTOOP with a special theater version of Hand Conversations. A poetic performance in which various encounters come together and in which small gestures tell big stories.
