A new and challenging chapter opens for Ghent’s municipal theatre, NTGent

The five successful years theatre director Johan Simons spent as artistic director of NTGent saw its breakthrough onto the international theatre scene. Now actor Wim Opbrouck has taken over the helm, giving the lead to the company’s core actors. He sees this as a fresh start rather than as a break with the past, for NTGent plans to continue to capitalize on its strengths and make electrifying, international, Flemish-Dutch actors’ theatre. In so doing it will make script-based theatre, but also display a real curiosity about practices common in other disciplines like dance, music, poetry and visual art. This will involve a series of guest directors with different profiles, including familiar names like Ivo Van Hove, Christoph Homberger and Peter Verhelst, but also artistic alliances with tg STAN, les ballets C de la B, Toneelgroep Ceremonia and others. NTGent increasingly promotes itself as ‘a playhouse’, a house of players, and deriving pleasure from acting is regarded as key. Read more.
