Season 2024-2025

What we call the beginning is often the end / And to make an end is to make a beginning. / The end is where we start from. 

T.S. Eliot - The Four Quartets

In our new shows you will see time pass by in all its forms: cyclical time, transience, adolescence, destructive wartime, nostalgia for a time gone by, but also the hopeful longing for a new time.

“The end is where we start from.” That also applies to the end of next season. For then we will be closing our beloved Bourla for much-needed renovations. But not without first living it up in style, during the Bye Bye Bourla festival!

Everyone is welcome!

Toneelhuis / Olympique Dramatique / theater arsenaal

Love and longing as devastating driving force during a family reunion. Chekhov’s De Meeuw (The Seagull) is a wonderful, tender play about young people with new ideas and an older generation that feels threatened by this. For the first time, a repertory play has been entirely translated into and performed in Flemish Sign Language, presented by a mixed cast of deaf actors and actors with normal hearing.
