The festival presents six current and varied performing arts productions from Belgium, all by major directors and hailing from of-the-moment theatres. The city of Gent’s values - united, offbeat, groundbreaking – are kin to Espoon teatteri’s values of seeking out newness, challenging the status quo, and coming together. Jointly, they are the inspiration for the festival.
&Fest – Focus Gent runs 5 - 28 March, with performances on both of Espoon teatteri’s stages, and at Tanssin Talo (Dance House Helsinki). The festival is made possible by Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation, with The City of Gent, and Flanders State of Art.
A festival is not a festival without profound conversations, a festive atmosphere, and meeting the artists. We invite you to dive right in and join us at &FEST – FOCUS GENT events: you are warmly welcome at pre-parties and after-parties, held at ours, and elsewhere. The full additional programme is here, and it is all for your delectation – pick and choose or, better yet, sample everything!
