Lisaboa Houbrechts is working in Madras with the Indian dancer Shantala Shivalingappa in preparation for the performance I Silenti. Toneelhuis and Les Ballets C de la B co-produce this performance by Théâtre de Namur, directed by Lisaboa Houbrechts.
I Silenti makes a connection between the Porajmos, the forgotten genocide of the Roma during WW II, and excerpts from Monteverdi’s madrigals that speak of love and war. Two worlds that conduct a dialogue and flow into each other.

Now that the theaters are forced to close, Toneelhuis becomes Radio Toneelhuis: lockdown Radio from the Bourla. Starting from the performance SUN-SET, Bosse Provoost, Ezra Veldhuis and Oshin Albrecht are investigating what is universal in the various origin stories in the world, and what is culture- or place-specific. A fascinating voyage of discovery through the work of experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage and performance artist Laurie Anderson, the Inuit, Polynesian peoples and the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

In November 2020, it will be 100 years since Paul Celan was born. To mark the occasion, De Studio, Poeziencentrum and Toneelhuis are organising an online event, a fully-fledged anniversary week for one of the most important German-speaking poets of the 20th century. Toneelhuis will present an exclusive and temporarily available online version of Matisklo with audio commentary. Bosse Provoost, Ezra Veldhuis and Yuri Happel recall thoughts and memories about the making of the performance against the background of Matisklo's capture.
