Olivier Van Den Hende

Actor Director Writer Producer

French-American artist living in London since 2016 - with a passion for story telling.

I believe in theatre as a space to witness our shared humanity, allow ourselves to feel, collectively build empathy and therefore improve ourselves and our societies.
