We have plans.

We have plans.

Spring and summer 2021 at Kaaitheater

After a long period when Kaaitheater’s spaces were closed for anything other than rehearsing, reflecting, experimenting or livestreaming... while the seats remained empty... after many, many cancellations and relocations... we dare to hope – in all uncertainty – for the theatre to reopen. To welcome audiences and artists night after night.

Now, the spring and summer programme is ready. Because without planning, nothing will ever happen.

Over the past few months, we have worked together with many partners on new festivals and collaborations and countless artists have worked in the studios and on our stages on the performances of tomorrow. Whilst some artists make online projects that over the past year have become so familiar to us, most focus on the unique experience of sharing time and space in the theatre.

How we look forward to living performing arts, with you in the audience! With this list of names we land feet first* with Kaaitheater’s 2020-2021 season. Let us hope that this is the harbinger of a richly filled, diverse programme in the coming months. It is time that our minds, our imaginations and our hearts once again were inspired by the unique dimension that theatre brings to our lives.

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.
