NTGent, Gent, Belgium
The NTGent is the city
theatre of Ghent, founded in 1965. It got an international reputation from 2005
onwards under artistic leadership of Johan Simons and is led since 2018 by Milo
Rau & Nathalie De Boelpaep. It counts with 3 auditoriums in the city,
around 85 FTE’s work for the company and yearly it reaches 80.000 to 100.000
visitors in Ghent and on tour.
The
city theatre that we are interested in stands between tradition and utopia. It
does not remain on the stage on which it was rehearsed, but it tours
internationally. And it brings global issues to the city. We will be travelling
with our ensemble for research and events: to northern Iraq and Congo, for
example. We offer a stage to actors and non-professionals of different
nationalities and languages. We make our plays together: with all those
involved, with the audience, in a constant interaction with society. After all,
we are not only interested in the canon of classical theatre, but especially in
the world we live in.
We are
searching for new classics, for myths, tragedies and contradictions of our
time: by mythologizing current affairs and by updating mythology. This way we
want to shape a political, mobile and creative ‘city theatre of the future’.
