HET THEATERFESTIVAL 2011

-

The ten most relevant

Every year, the Theaterfestival selects the most relevant productions from the past season. Altogether the jury members watched at least 500 performances, from children’s and youth theatre to dance and musical theatre. From these they chose the best ten productions, which are now being shown once again for everyone just before the start of the new theatre season.
  
In addition, the festival is also presenting two productions from the selection for the Dutch Theatre Festival (www.tf.nl) and five productions from the brand new Circuit X, which is a series of pieces by young and/or less well-known theatre-makers which, after the performances at the festival, will tour several cultural centres in Flanders.
 
This year the Theatre Festival will take place in and around the Kaaitheater, Bronks and KVS in Brussels.

Gregoria »
26-27/8/2011
When the Flemish actor Maurice Gilliams died at the age of 82 he had not yet finished Gregoria. Half a lifetime was not enough to give shape to this period of his life. Is this novel a love story? Or is it a horror story, a gothic novel? Bart Meuleman turns it into superb theatre.
