Toneelhuis is one of the three large municipal theatres in Flanders. The artistic core of Toneelhuis consists of two theatre collectives and three individual artists: FC Bergman (Stef Aerts, Thomas Verstraeten, Marie Vinck, Joé Agemans), Olympique Dramatique (Tom Dewispelaere, Stijn Van Opstal), Lisaboa Houbrechts, Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe and Gorges Ocloo. As of 2022, Toneelhuis is not only an artist-driven but also a collectively-run organization. The permanent members of the company share its artistic direction and are responsible for all aspects of artistic policy. This collective leadership of a big theatre is unique, even from an international perspective. With its intergenerational, diverse and collective leadership, the company plays a pioneering role internationally. With the Bourla, Toneelhuis has a classic nineteenth-century theatre in the heart of Antwerp at its disposal, and with the Kambala, an industrial building on the periphery of the city, it has a second, smaller platform that also houses the set and costume workshops. The city and its rich cultural melting pot are an important artistic breeding ground. The idiosyncratic career paths of the five theatre makers/collectives represent equally different world views and artistic practices. This heterogeneous dynamic is what drives Toneelhuis. Artistic polyphony is at the heart of its activities. Besides creating their own productions, the collective also offers space for work by other artists that complements and challenges their own work. This happens through a festival and/or in co-production with other theatre partners. In addition to being a production house, Toneelhuis also wants to be a presentation space. For Toneelhuis, being generous towards other companies and sharing its theatre spaces is an essential part of its artistic activities.
