Laika and Theater FroeFroe are proud to present our big summer project: Tortot, about a friendship that blossoms between a cook and a young soldier in the midst of the battlefield. A tender-hearted and timeless fairy tale that exposes the inhumanity and absurdity of all wars with humour and compassion.

As they did with the show Pentamerone (2015), Laika and Theater FroeFroe are creating an all-encompassing spectacle with Tortot, included are a delicious meal and unbridled theatrical fun. All of this accompanied by the blaring and drumming of local brass bands, who are welcomed onto the stage.

Tortot will premiere on Tuesday 2 July at Zomer van Antwerpen. Ticket sales are going fast, so don't hesitate to join us!

In the run-up to the Belgian local elections on 13 October 2024, Laika and hetpaleis are joining forces for the A1000: a unique programme where 1,000 students from the 5th and 6th grade of secondary school will work towards a spectacular final debate with the lead candidates of Antwerp municipal politics.

The preliminary workshops are in full swing in several schools in Antwerp. While working on their debating skills, the youngsters formulate a series of sharp conclusions on the following themes: living together, our planet, money, democracy, identity and the city of the future. On 3 October 2024, they will engage a dialogue with the city’s politicians on their urban policy, and present their recommendations. Sparks will surely fly!

We look back on a fantastic premiere of  Superheroes - Letzte Schlacht, the result of a brand-new collaboration between Laika and the renowned theatre for young audiences, Schauburg München! Superheroes - Letzte Schlacht is a performance about the glory and the dark side of being a superhero. A show that bears the hallmark of director Michai Geyzen: visual, wordless and energetic physical theatre.

We are incredibly proud of this new co-production and would like to thank everyone in front and behind the scenes at Schauburg München for their enthusiasm and hospitality!
