Close-Act Theatre Company

The Close-Act Theatre Company creates spectacular theatre and design for outdoor spaces. It creates a world in which the interactivity with the people is the key.

Founded in 1991, Close-Act is a collaboration between designers, actors, dancers, choreographers, and musicians with a unique trademarked style called reality theatre that has been nurtured by artistic directors Hesther Melief and Tonny Aerts.

Close-Act is renowned for interactive street theatre. Their unique form of theatre is performed in, between, and above the public. Rooted in the emotional rush you get when submerged in art, this experience allows performers to connect with audiences where they can feel all kinds of emotions, like love, seduction, fear, or compassion. It is the ultimate way to intensify ones perception of the performance.
