In a playful way, the audience is made aware of prejudices and stereotypes that people have about certain disadvantaged groups. It gives food for thought.

Actors are really into their roles, a great team, very professional.
Michel LOUIS - Regie der Gebouwen

An extremely sensitive theme is presented in a light-hearted manner. Very pleasant experience and very smooth professional cooperation. The advice and the experience were very helpful. It was great that we were involved beforehand so that there were no loose ends on the day.
Klaartje De Groof - Baloise

Surprising how, convinced of the importance of diversity, I still catch myself having prejudices...

Johan Goossens - Alcon

Especially the theatrical sketches. Very well played. Very confrontational, sometimes shocking, always respectful. I loved it, I laughed a lot and yes, it allowed me to step back from these "sensitive" subjects. It feels good ;-). Thanks to the actors. :-)

Dealing with diversity

Impro-Labo^® - Interactive theatre

Diversity is one of today's challenges. Nevertheless, the road towards it is littered with pitfalls. Resistance, prejudice and stereotypes often rear their heads.

The interactive theatre performance 'Dealing with Diversity' gives you a humorous insight into how stereotypes work and offers keys to concrete steps towards a broader support base for more diversity. How should we communicate with each other about this tricky topic? What concrete solutions can you find to someone's objections or fears about gender issues, working with people from different origins or people with a physical disability?

To answer these questions, we combine several elements:

Theatre sketches: through humour, recognisability and the necessary irony, we hold a (funny) mirror up to the audience
Multiple-choice questions: these probe the temperature of the room and involve the audience in the discussion
Sensitive models: in consultation with the participants, we look for the role of stereotypes and mental (dis)comfort zones

Interaction and dialogue

Humour, striking remarks and sharp observations create a feeling of recognition without avoiding the hot topics. More than that, the interactive character challenges the audience to enter into a dialogue on these sensitive issues. This leads to more insight and a better understanding between all involved.
