One Song

04.06.26 — 06.06.26

After a tour with over a hundred performances all over the world, this blockbuster comes home to NTGent in 2026 for a very last run.

ONE SONG - Histoire(s) du Théâtre IV is set in the unique universe of visual artist and theatre maker Miet Warlop. A group of performers enters the arena for an enchanting mesmerizing ritual about farewell, life and death, hope and resurrection. 

Together they go through extremes: through sung text, images and objects, oxygen and sweat, they evoke our condition humaine. 

Again and again, someone stands up to push boundaries. The performers defy time and give expression to a deep human need: the moment when we can transcend our thinking body.

Awarded the Prix de la Critique in France and selected as one of the best performances of the year in both The Netherlands and the USA (New York Times).
