In collaboration with Humanitas, the creators of *De Belangelozen* shed light on the world of poverty and volunteer work. With sharp humor and painfully relatable scenes, they reveal the growing gap between policy and reality—and the people who try to bridge that gap every day.

In *The Carefree* , we follow Marvin, who owes money to his housing association. Volunteer Sam knocks on his door in good spirits, thinking it’s just a simple case of mail anxiety, but discovers that Marvin is being evicted from his home—tonight. She finds herself caught up in a whirlwind of government agencies, creditors, and policymakers. Sam is given an impossible task: can she help Marvin?

*De Belangelozen* highlights the powerlessness of an individual in the face of major creditors in a world where debt means inevitable ruin for some and, at the same time, an excellent revenue model for others. Marvin is fighting a system that isn’t designed for people in need, and it doesn’t look like he’s going to win. He sees no way out and sounds the alarm—in fact, he sounds every alarm he can find. 

*De Belangelozen* is produced in close collaboration with the Humanitas association. In the run-up to this performance, the creators joined the organization as volunteers so they could, from up close, sketch a relatable and human perspective on what it means to be a volunteer. This urgent, humorous production highlights the complexity of social work and provides a platform for those who, against all odds, strive to help others.

About Collective T&T
Collective T&T have past event making social performances with slightly humorous and sometimes absurdist undertones since their graduation. The artistic core consists of Tim Olivier Somer & Tarik Moree. For De Belangelozen they collaborate with Max Wind as writer and director. Collectief T&T finds in Max a strong social-critical voice that can color along and against in developing the performance. Max and Collectief T&T have past event familiar with each other's work since drama school and so there is already a great understanding on an artistic level. Lotte Driessen brings a third energy to het proces and to the performance as a musical maker. Collective T&T would also like to enter into this collaboration because of the connection Lotte carries with the subject and her dedication in other social (theater) work.
