There is a square. Is it a house? There is sound. What happens inside?

A lid opens. Is there something inside? What is inside? 
Who is inside?

Hermit is an original, visual, funny and moving performance about a miniature house and its shy inhabitant.

He is not at home, but we do hear him.

 

Celebrating the joy of discovery, this is a gentle and moving performance about knowing how to be alone and feeling at home.

"A lovely theatrical treasure for all ages"
-Sara van der Kooi, Theaterkrant ★★★★★
