Needcompany is launching a campaign to support Theatre Day Productions, a project in northern Gaza. As a small gesture, some glass objects - made by a glassblower from Hebron to serve as a scenic element in All the Good, a performance by Needcompany - will be offered for sale.

More information about the campaign can be reached by clicking on this post.

After two successful editions, MILL'S BEAUTY REALITY SALON returns in 2023. MBRS is a fellowship developed by and within Needcompany. It was born out of a desire to continue the multidisciplinary artistic quest that Needcompany started 30 years ago. With this € 10 000 initiative, we want to give artists the opportunity to think and create in a timeless and non-result-oriented way. Our goal is to establish new, sustainable connections.

For MILL'S REALITY SALON we are inviting artists who have never before worked with Needcompany. The call has been launched and is open to all nationalities and ages with an extra focus on artists with a link to Brussels. Deadline = 25 October!

On 11 July, Billy's Joy will finally premiere at ImPulsTanz in Vienna. After months of preparation and rehearsal, it is time to present the 'liquid comedy', the HYSTORY, to the public.

Victor Lauwers once again commits to reworking Shakespeare's texts to see what they can still mean in our time - a time of great controversies, vulgar polemics, cancel culture, structural racism, climate change, war. What is there left to laugh at? Is humour the coward's weapon or a form of activism?

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.
