16.07.21 | GARDENIA, 10 JAAR LATER | ALAIN PLATEL & FRANK VAN LAECKE

Gardenia descended 10 years ago into the turbulent lives of remarkable people, seemingly effortlessly walking the twilight zone between being male and female. An intimate account of hope and cherished or lost illusions. 10 years later the cast meets again. To shine, one more time.

FAMILIE | MILO RAU 

In 2007, a whole family committed suicide in Calais: the parents and their two children. No motive was ever found. The farewell letter only said: 'We fucked up, sorry'.

ONLINE FILM DOCUMENTARY AND THEATER TV

FAMILIE (movie)| MILO RAU

Milo Rau filmed the eponymous play together with film production company Look@Leo and NTGent. "The silence before the storm, the cracks in this at first sight picture perfect family, the fear in the face of death: it works well on film, where we are close to their emotions". (De Standaard)

THE NEW GOSPEL (movie) | MILO RAU

Milo Raus Jezusfilm starring activist Yvan Sagnet premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was warmly welcomed. The New Gospel is extremely effective. The film is a hammer stroke, intellectually as well as emotionally'. (Theaterkrant)

YELLOW (film version)| LUK PERCEVAL

For this theater performance Milo Rau and his team went to the ancient forests of Brazil. The performance will also premiere there. You can follow it live at ntgent.be. After that there will also be a documentary about the production.

REVIEW OUR NTGENT CLASSICS

This spring NTGENT ON TAPE became a great success. We selected a number of shows that you could revisit on the website. We are working further on the format and will keep you informed. In advance a sneak peek

NTGent resolutely goes for a new form of access to theater. We focus on film, linked to theater, and on the online distribution of our theater productions. In this way we ensure that we can continue to produce and present when corona makes public activities difficult. Because we believe that these new forms will also be post-corona stayers, we are anchoring these ambitions together with our international partners.

SCHOOL OF RESISTANCE

Since March, thinkers, activists and artists start talking to each other. Review conversations with Achille Mbembe on the 'paranoia of the Western mind', Chantal Mouffe (UK) and Nora Chipaumire (USA) on the question 'Why theatre?' and Ulrike Guérot (DU) and Srecko Horvat (HR) on the feeling of crisis in Europe.

NTGENT COOPERATES WITH HET GENTS KUNSTENOVERLEG TO SUPPORT ARTISTS

We don't plan the first NTGent shows with an audience until April 1, but that doesn't mean it will remain quiet in the house in the meantime. If possible, NTGent will open its doors to initiatives and performances from other houses as early as January. In this way we want to support artists from all disciplines and give you, our audience, a heartfelt boost. We hope to be able to reveal more soon!
