What if the Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles was not only the epicentre of creation, production and dissemination of works, but also a larger living space, at once open and shareable? What would it look like?
In November, the Théâtre National becomes Scènes nouvelles, the annual meeting place of Belgian and international audiences and professionals eager to discover the best multidisciplinary creations by emerging artists in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation: theatre, dance, performance art and young audience theatre.
Scènes nouvelles helps to illuminate and share powerful works by French-speaking Belgian artists. It turns the spotlight on stand-out shows that have been seen too little in Brussels and Wallonia and that have hardly been seen abroad (if at all). It also features new productions. A long-term project, the idea is to jointly construct the programme with one or more supporting partners: for this second edition, Théâtre La montagne magique (children and youth theatre). More broadly, the project seeks to reinforce the cultural and artistic network of the creative regions of Brussels and Wallonia.
The Théâtre National and its partners are committed to this project with care and ‘answer-ability’, embracing a new relational ethic, in the service of creation and its (re)deployment.

Drawing on the need to delve into her own history as an illegally adopted child, Consolate takes us to the heart of her world using sounds, smells and images.
Silvio Palomo confronts us with our most innocuous actions, and it does so to reveal the extraordinary at the heart of the ordinary.
By recording on film their daily life away from the world, a family tell their stories, document their actions and thoughts. But beneath the veneer of these fleeting moments, a drama looms.
Supported by an original device the piece combines two a priori distinct universes: the art world and the agricultural world. A polyphony that creates unexpected links.
Between sensitive experience, playful exploration and laws of reason, this performance revisits the perception and representation of a place by bringing space and bodies into dialogue with one another.
In this dance solo that is as radical and daring as a manifesto, the young choreographer and dancer Stanley Ollivier creates a layered performance about identity.
Kali Kalité will be sharing her favourite shatta, dancehall, bouyon, afrobeat, amapiano and zouk hits with you!
Two characters rich in emotions draw us in with a minimum of means – the strength of great theatre. This is a journey where we face our greatest fears and experience our greatest joys.
