NTGent: The Future of City Theater
NTGent is a theater company that combines production and tours, independent theater and repertoire, theatrical art, theoretical discourse, and politics. It is the city theater of the future that aims to bring together different forms of art to create a unique experience for its audience.
The company was founded in 1965 as Nederlands Toneel Gent but was later renamed NTGent in 1998. Since then, it has become one of the most prominent theaters in Belgium with a reputation for producing high-quality performances that challenge conventional norms.
NTGent's productions are known for their innovative approach to storytelling. They often incorporate multimedia elements such as video projections and live music to enhance the audience's experience. The company also collaborates with artists from different disciplines such as dance, visual arts, and literature to create multidisciplinary performances.
One of NTGent's core values is its commitment to diversity and inclusivity. The company strives to represent different voices on stage by working with artists from diverse backgrounds. This commitment is reflected in their programming which includes plays by female playwrights or those from marginalized communities.
NTGent also places great importance on engaging with its audience beyond the performance itself. They organize workshops, debates, and other events that allow audiences to interact with artists directly or explore themes related to the play they have just seen.
In addition to producing plays locally in Ghent at their home base Minnemeers Theatre complex (which includes three stages), NTGent also tours nationally and internationally bringing their unique brand of theatre around Europe (and sometimes further abroad).
Overall NTgent offers an exciting opportunity for anyone interested in experiencing cutting-edge theatre productions while supporting an organization committed not only artistic excellence but social justice issues too!
