NTGent is a city theatre in motion that aims to question, motivate and move a diverse audience. We do this by creating and presenting high-profile productions and using theatre for social debate.

Ghent is our home base. As an open and travelling company, we want to use our productions to bring the world to Ghent and to show them to the world. We want to play a leading role in the Flemish and international performing-arts landscape. We’re an open house, accessible to all.

The city theatre that interests us stands between tradition and utopia. It does not stay on the stage where it was rehearsed, but goes on tour internationally. And it brings global issues to the city. We travel with our collaborators for research and manifestations. We offer a stage to actors and non-professional actors, of different nationalities and languages.

The city theatre that we are interested in stands between tradition and utopia. It does not remain on the stage on which it was rehearsed, but it tours internationally. And it brings global issues to the city. We make our plays together: with all those involved, with the audience, in a constant interaction with society. After all, we are not only interested in the canon of classical theatre, but especially in the world we live in.
