Archa Theatre

The Archa Theatre is a centre for contemporary stage art without regard to barriers of genre. From the time it was established in 1994, Archa has built a solid reputation on the domestic and international progressive scenes with its unique dramaturgy and innovative projects. It operates as a production house that provides space to artists for their creative work. Over the past twenty-five years, Archa has welcomed on board renowned figures from the international art scene, such as Robert Wilson, Min Tanaka, Wim Vandekeybus, Anna Teresa de Keersmaeker, the Royal Shakespeare Company, Cheek By Jowl, Ultima Vez, DV8 – Physical Theatre, Dogtroep, Forced Entertainment, Lola Arias, Rimini Protokoll, Pieter De Buysser, Milo Rau, Wen Hui, and many others. Projects by young artists are conceived and developed under the auspices of the Archa.lab and its residencies. The theatre’s International Summer School serves as a platform for experimentation and research in the field of documentary theatre. One of Archa’s flagship events each season is the Akcent International Festival of Documentary Theatre.
