Scènes nouvelles is the essential meeting place for French-speaking Belgian creativity. Every year, supported by a partner - this time the Théâtre de la Vie - artists, audiences and professionals come together to explore powerful works.
Theatre, dance, performance and young audiences, with six favourite shows, this key moment in the season highlights bold creations, up to now seen only rarely, in Belgium and beyond. A festival which casts light on contemporary challenges, and celebrates the vitality of an ever-sparkling scene.
With the support of Wallonie-Bruxelles International and Wallonie-Bruxelles Théâtre / Danse
The festivals Scènes nouvelles (Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles) and Ici Bruxelles (Théâtre Les Tanneurs, Théâtre Varia – Théâtre & Studio, Théâtre Le Rideau) are joining forces to spotlight artists from the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles in November 2025. Starting in 2026, the two festivals will merge into a single event held from December 9 to 12 – mark your calendars!

The rain falling, a sudden flood, lives overturned. Camille no longer speaks, since the time the water carried everything away: her home, her memories... and her dog, Larry.
Ngân is Vietnamese. Quentin was born in Libramont, in the Ardennes region of Belgium. At the outset, there was nothing that could have brought them together.
