Openingsweekend 25-26

With this festival, DE SINGEL celebrates a double start: the kick-off of the new cultural season and the festive opening of the renovated corridors. After more than a year of intensive renovation, we are proud to show the makeover of the iconic corridors of the Stynen building - open to the public for the first time.

The large new open space that has been created will have a new purpose: the Kunstenplein (Arts Square). A place that beats, lives and connects - freely accessible, public and inviting. Here, artistic expression is interwoven with community building. This is the new heart of DE SINGEL.

Besides top productions like A Year Without Summer (Florentina Holzinger), Pilgrimage (Siebe Thijs) and Il Giardino Armonico olv. Giovanni Antonini, we present a wide range of surprising artistic interventions:
