Het Huis van Proeven/ Sandra Schouten tells stories with food and smell. She alienates situations by theatrical interventions and sensual eating experiences.

This goes for participants of a festival and a conference or employees of a company and organization, as well as for the more vulnerable groups in our society, as people in nursing homes, people with a psychiatric past, children in a Centre for asylum or men in prison.
