April at Kaaitheater - update

Tuesday, March 31, 2020 — To help contain the spread of the new coronavirus, Kaaitheater has cancelled all performances until 3 May.

 

 

 

 

The spread of the COVID-19 virus is hard to ignore. As Kaaitheater we want to take our responsibility, so we cancel all performances until 3 May. The well-being of the audience, artists and staff is our priority. In the meantime, the team continues to work and hold meetings from home: a fascinating experiment in remote proximity.

In April, all performances and lectures are cancelled.

Our extensive reads & videos-archive could keep you busy for hours. Take a look at the video recordings of debates and the artists interviews! We will be posting a lot of articles and videos on our social media channels in the coming weeks. Keep an eye on them too: that way we'll still be somewhat together.

 

This is the programme as it was scheduled for April:

About Kaaitheater

Stage

Kaaitheater is a stage for dance, theatre, performance, music and debate in Brussels. Founded in 1977 as a pioneer of innovative performing arts, this house has grown into a platform for both work by artists of the Flemish Wave and new generations of performing artists. From Brussels to international, from small to large venues, and just as well in the squares and the streets, where urban and global themes are tangible.

Motto

Under the motto How to Be Many?, the Kaaitheater team makes room for a broad spectrum of stories, perspectives, artists and audiences, so we can learn to better reflect the city's many voices. That we do in cooperation with many partners.

Places

Currently, Kaaitheater’s building on the Sainctelettesquare will be under renovation. We will move into our new building in 2025 and that will give us an additional auditorium as well as a city balcony and spaces for artists and audiences, all of which will give the new urban arts centre on the canal its identity. In the meantime, we will continue to perform in Kaaistudio's, and we will be on the move through the city and briefly make use of at 14 many theatres and partners in and around Brussels, with whom we will present a multifaceted programme.

(In) practice

Looking towards the future, Kaaitheater will continue to develop new lines of participation and mediation so that we can introduce new generations of audiences to contemporary performing arts. We invite organisations and groups that still are underrepresented on the Brussels stages to create their own artistic programmes. This allows us to open the way for co-ownership of artists and audiences.

Kaaitheater moves with the times, stimulates social and artistic debates and embraces the pluriform performing arts of today and tomorrow.
