We have plans.

After a long period when Kaaitheater’s spaces were closed for anything other than rehearsing, reflecting, experimenting or livestreaming... while the seats remained empty... after many, many cancellations and relocations... we dare to work towards a reopening of the theatre. To welcome audiences and artists night after night.

Dear audience, our spring and summer programme is ready. Because without planning, nothing will ever happen.

Over the past few months, we have worked together with many partners on new festivals and collaborations and countless artists have worked in the studios and on our stages on the performances of tomorrow. Whilst some artists make use of the online technologies that over the past year have become so familiar to us, most focus on the unique experience of sharing time and space in the theatre.

How we look forward to living performing arts, with you in the audience! With this list of names we land feet first* with Kaaitheater’s 2020-2021 season. Let us hope that this is the harbinger of a richly filled, diverse programme in the coming months. It is time that our minds, our imaginations and our hearts once again were inspired by the unique dimension that theatre brings to our lives.

* The 2020-2021 season kicked off last summer with a collaborative drawing. Gabriela González Rondón drew the head, Imge Özbilge the torso. Anne Brugni now lets the fantasy creature land firmly with her/his/their feet first.
