Scènes nouvelles

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.
