*De Belangelozen* highlights the powerlessness of an individual in the face of major creditors in a world where debt spells inevitable ruin for some while serving as an excellent revenue model for others. Marvin is fighting against a system that isn’t designed for people in need of help, and it doesn’t look like he’s going to win. He sees no way out and is sounding the alarm—in fact, he’s ringing 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 association as volunteers so they could, from up close, paint a relatable and human picture of what it means to be a volunteer. This compelling, humorous performance highlights the complexity of social work and provides a platform for those who, against all odds, strive to help others.
