Gen2020

Co-ordinated by 't ARSENAAL, the project brings together a number of companies, organisations and individuals from the Flemish theatre scene who are committed to supporting young performing arts talent from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, such as Zomer Van Antwerpen, Moussem and others. The focus is on artistic and (inter)cultural exchange between the artists, the sector and the public.

GEN2020 selected passionate actors, directors, playwrights and performing artists of all kinds for a two-year professional development programme (2012–2013). This consists of a series of joint masterclasses, each held with different companies or festivals, and an individual programme culminating in new productions.

The first results of this diverse theatre laboratory are brought together in the GEN2020 festival. From 24 November to 9 December, the artists of GEN2020 will take to the stages in various cities with new creations and performances.
