De Morgen (****), De Standaard (****), Knack (****), El País (****), Les Inrocks and many other international press had nothing but praise for the radical adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedies by writer Victor Afung Lauwers, composer Maarten Seghers and director Jan Lauwers.

In the period '23 - '27 Needcompany is resolutely commited to writing a new story. To this end, we are looking for a technical production manager to strengthen the team and help realise the planned generational transition.

The many distraught reactions to the news that Needcompany's existence is under threat are heartening. Touching letters from the most important organizations worldwide reach us daily. We are defending ourselves firmly and believe that we can counter this.

But we need your help to do so. The more responses we get, the better. For those of you who would still like to support us, please write us a short email - via info@needcompany.org - as an expression of support. You really don't have to be an important organization to do that. Straight from the heart, that is what is needed. After all, we are only here for you.

In July 2021, Billy's Violence, a radical adaptation of the tragedies of Shakespeare by Victor Afung Lauwers, directed by Jan Lauwers, premiered at Festival Grec in Barcelona. Maarten Seghers composed the original music which gives the performance extra layers, resonance and intensity.

From now on, the music is available on all major streaming services (Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer etc) and digital shops. A physical release on vinyl was already released in July. The limited, carefully crafted release is available via Needcompany's Bandcamp. Those who would like to buy the digital release can also visit our Bandcamp.
