International collaboration in spotlight of Royal Flemish Theatre's new season

The Royal Flemish Theatre (KVS) has unveiled its 2025-2026 season. This year, the theatre is putting the spotlight on international collaboration - with a particular focus on Spain - while making room for local talent, both established and emerging.

The upcoming season promises to be one of "big themes, passionate artistic voices and collaboration across languages, countries and cultures", according to the KVS. Of note is the strong emphasis on Spanish and Latin American productions.

Audiences can look forward to The Bones, a co-production by Manuela Infante and Michael De Cock, inspired by the experiences of a South American forensic anthropologist. The play, which deals with victims of enforced disappearance, will premiere in Chile.

Spanish connection

KVS will also continue its collaboration with the National Theatre of Catalonia, and new theatre makers from Madrid are expected to appear as part of Territorio, a cultural festival arising from this Spanish connection.

Belgian theatre also remains at the heart of the programme. Highlights include Valentijn Dhaenens' directorial debut Powerplay, which explores intergenerational power dynamics, Sara Oklobdzija's critique of the integration system in M.O.L, and Michael Disanka's poetic tribute to the Congo.
