CAMPO and NTGent are jointly presenting a selection of the new generation of artists. CAMPO has always kept a close eye on emerging talent, and NTGent, too, regularly showcases up-and-coming artists who are ready for a wider audience. By joining forces, we are giving a much-needed boost to these artists’ visibility. In this way, names that are still unknown today are given the place they deserve on the stages of tomorrow.

In The Harvest of Broken Promises, theatre maker Pankaj Tiwari interweaves video footage, interviews, visual art, and folk tales. By blending his own history with the stories of farmers from across India and Europe, his play captures the profound tension between aspiration and survival.

A captivating and unique performance where live gaming and theatre converge. Artist Samuel Baidoo created an autobiographical video game for this piece: a series of virtual spaces that offer an escape from the outside world, while also providing room to reflect on violence in reality. How can a video game help us relate to our daily reality?
For the live performance CONFESSIONS, Stef Van Looveren works with an enormous furnace to melt and sculpt glass live on stage. What was once rigid and fragile melts and reshapes itself, echoing the ever-changing nature of selfhood.

The new performance by Jef Van der Burght, Senne Vanderschelden & Marius Lefever under the collective Three is a crowd. Starting from the classic fairy tale The Three Little Pigs, they construct a cartoonish world filled with slapstick, clowning, and absurd twists. This light-hearted playfulness is intersected by the dark, suggestive atmospheres of film noir.

The new production by artist duo Marieke&Sophia, inspired by August Strindberg’s living-room drama of the same name (1887). Together with Anna Franziska Jäger and Rodrigo Batista, they rework this dated, sexist piece into a confrontational performance. What if Strindberg’s worldview is less outdated than we might think?

A play in which four performers reenact the HBO show Girls by Lena Dunham (2012 - 2017). Or, they try. The show depicts the lives of four twenty-something girls in New York City. So trivial! How hard can that be?

A dangerously timely and provocative performance by a new generation of theatre makers.
PARTY TIME is a biting satire that asks whether (political) power always corrupts. Can idealism survive within an economic system structurally built on self-interest? Within that power, is there also room for doubt and vulnerability?

A theatrical tirade between total control and complete loss.
RANT originates from the experience of the internet as an indigestible abundance — aggressive, chaotic, and frenzied. Anna Franziska Jäger & Nathan Ooms investigate how this excess affects the human condition and what impact it has on our experience. Inspired by the "angry internet", they transform the rant into music and dance, into a raging ritual.

A new perspective on contemporary masculinity training and ancient knightly ideals.
In CHRONIC by Tibau Beirnaert & Laurens Aneca, a figure enters a commune inspired by Arthur’s Round Table. Jousting, sword fighting and wearing armour initially seem part of that same ritual of hardening. But what if these rituals could mean something completely different? Instead of being hardened, the initiator is dismantled and reassembled, according to laws that lie outside the ordinary world.

A physical and poetic performance about coming home to a precarious reality.
Gerben Vaillant, the discovery of last season at CAMPO, is back! This time, he joins forces with the impressive Marthe Koning. The two artists crave a sense of stability. Certainty is scarce, yet they long to understand, predict, and pin down the world. What if instability and shakiness are actually our greatest anchors? In Long Voyage Home, we enter a world that has let go of its fixed form.
