Take a look at the timeline of ALL GREEKS festival

🏺 A groundbreaking festival that features all 32 remaining Greek tragedies, re-interpreted in numerous forms, from small scale interventions or installations in close collaboration with the people of Ghent to full-blown performances by acclaimed directors and collectives.

🏺 A completely free festival. All performances take place in the public space, often at dawn, exactly like in ancient times. The public is free to come and go as they please.

🏺 All performances take place outdoors. Spring sun or cloudburst: we will continue, under the Ghent motto nie neute, nie pleuje (don't complain, don't give in).

🏺 A recurring ritual for and by the city. Every festival day, a brand new Greek tragedy is born. Various groups from Ghent and beyond get carte blanche and focus on specific tragedies from various artistic and social perspectives.

🏺 An 8-week city festival taking place in 8 different districts of Ghent. 32 tragedies equal 32 performances with an unmissable collective ritual as dessert.

🏺 An inclusive, super-diverse, and utopian public space in which we hold up a mirror to the city and society. Classic stories are interwoven with today's diverse Ghent. Together, we build a different, post-capitalist future.

🏺 A unique event that brings together the people of Ghent with an impressive list of collaborators including - among others - Milo Rau, Tiago Rodrigues, Kris Verdonck, tg Stan & Olympique Dramatique / Toneelhuis, de Roovers, VOETVOLK and BERLIN!
