Info
Give my hand back tells a story about an incurable disease, fate, the vulnerability of things, the reactions of awkward bystanders and all the tragic and comic situations that result from this. A discussion between two friends. Free from taboos and packed with humour.
A few years ago, Jan De Brabander, designer and scenographer for BRONKS amongst others, found out that he had a disease. A disease whose only certainty was that it could only get worse. How much worse? How quickly? No one knows. Jan told his story to Joris Van den Brande, who distilled it into a universal theatre text. Joris Hessels and Joris Van den Brande offer a sublime presentation of this vulnerable tale.

Jury
Geef mijn hand terug (Give back my hand) may be this season’s best kept secret.

Hessels and Van den Brande play the emotional card without being corny.
