Festival Emulation

From 19 to 24/03/2019

Energy to satiety, the miracles sparkling with ideas, the verb high, the opinion sliced, the young companies will disembark and storm many rooms in the Burning City!

For here is already the eighth edition of the Festival Émulation, a precious professional lever put at the disposal of the young theatrical guard coming from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. The windfall is to be seized also for the public, which will be able to devote its interest and curiosity to the works of the rising generation, while vivifying its appointments with the alive art.

A jury composed of international programmers will award the Emulation Prize, awarded by the Association of Friends of the Theater of Liège.
A second jury, made up of secondary school students from the Province of Liège, will award the Coup de Coeur.

 

For a week, the Théâtre de Liège gives a voice to young emerging artists and brings to the fore seven of their creations.

Every evening, after the shows, the Festival Emulation afters welcome you from 22h in a festive and relaxed atmosphere.

With the support of the Club des Entreprises partenaires of the Liège Theater

Fabrice Adde / Olivier Lopez

Fabrice Adde is already well-travelled around theatre stages and cinema screens, including work with Bouli Lanners (Eldorado) and Alejandro González Iñárritu (The Revenant). In this crazy solo, he plays a conference speaker trying to teach us “How to Speak in Public”.

La Montagne

From23/04 on29/04/2017
Sarah Brahy et Aline Mahaux

A sort of poetic performance on the need to rethink the entire economy, La Montagne is an artistic battle between two actresses, compelled by the urgency of no longer letting their world escape them.

Une Tribu Collectif

Objects, puppets, a sewing machine, text and music are the elements of a home-made approach telling Eddy’s story. A local hero, he has always ridden his bicycle. In a beautiful and lively group performance, the Tribu Collectif company invents plural theatre; subtle, infinitely creative and full of exquisite poetry.

La convivialité

From23/04 on29/04/2017
Arnaud Hoedt et Jérôme Piron

An iconoclastic and pop approach to the sacrosanct topic of spelling! A new type of show which is taking a risk: two French teachers allow the public to cast a critical eye over spelling, too often used as a tool of discrimination.

C’est quand la délivrance ?

From23/04 on29/04/2017
Laurent Plumhans

His urge to speak out on mass unemployment came about when young director Laurent Plumhans entered the turmoil of the world of work. Presented in the form of interviews for unemployment benefits, and scenes from daily life, the show is tinged with fantasy and portrays a critical point of view of young people on their own terms.
