A venue for a young audience and a hub for young talent.

Podium

De Studio is a creative hub based at the Mechelseplein in the heart of Antwerp. At De Studio, children and young adults are spectators as well as artists/creators.

In 2011, the Province of Antwerp bought the building that used to house the famous drama and acting school Studio Herman Teirlinck. The arts organization Villanella acquired the long lease of the building. It was renamed De Studio and in addition to that new name, Villanella also gave it a new focus: theatre, cinema, music, literature, dance, parties, debates,… De Studio is a unique venue where every lover of performing arts feels at home.

Today, De Studio provides space and support to, among others, Theater FroeFroe, Laika, De Spiegel, fABULEUS, ZEBARBAR, Compagnie Barbarie and Theater Artemis. Artists turn their dreams into reality at De Studio, in order to blow the audience’s mind. 24/7.

One can never know what tomorrow brings, but as long as it innovates and surprises, what tomorrow brings deserves its place at De Studio.

We hope to see you soon at a theatre matinée by day or at a funky party in the middle of the night!

Their punk approach to free improvisation draws on elements of jazz, noise, hip-hop, techno and new music to create a thrilling sonic maelstrom that is beyond category or convention.

What would your life look like if you could re-examine your sexuality in the public space?

PEEKABOO shapes a playful vision of the world as a sex playground. A utopia that imagines new ways of contact through cruising, ultimately getting lost in a web of experimental relationships and unexpected encounters. There is no revolution without a sexual revolution! Out of the bedroom, into the street!

The Colorist Orchestra
music
TICKETS

The Colorist Orchestra plays new instrumental pop music. The orchestra reworks well-known instrumental hits into new compositions, often with only subtle references to the original. This 'recomposed music' is inspired by genres as diverse as disco, electronica, classical music and traditional folklore, with one goal in mind: to make you dance. The Colorist Orchestra aims to reevaluate lost music and breathe new life into it, by recoloring recognizable melodies and experimenting with new sound combinations.
