PROGRAM

ENGARDE – De weerzinwekkende

(Text theater)

Lette was going to present his invention; the presentation of his career. But there is one gigantic problem...

With De Weerzinwekkende, EN GARDE brings text theater to the Ghent Festivities for the fourth consecutive year. A razor-sharp comedy about beauty, identity, and success.

GOAT

(Cabaret / Performance / Review)

At SHOWBOAT, GOAT presents a live cabaret. GOAT loves a lot: a lot of play, a lot of props, a lot of artists, and a lot of themes. During The Great Cabaret, we put together a new program six times; each day is dedicated to one of our main artists. We combine various disciplines such as theater, music, dance, performance, clowning, and drag.

While large cruise ships destroy the earth, SHOWBOAT puts artisanal art back in the spotlight. Let yourself be carried away by an art form that was brought to life more than 100 years ago.

H&V Short Performances

(Theater / Show / Performance)

The short performances are back in town. With even more colorful friends, the OGs Happel & Vandervegt present new stuff and old classics.

A series of absurdist acts and mini-stories form a colorful ode to the confusing life. It’s soft punk full of flowers, feathers, curtains, and wise lessons. And everything is 100% Real!

The performance takes place on the SHOWBOAT. It's gonna be the Real Deal. So be there! Brothers, bitches, in-betweens: it will be wild!
