Every year Laika arranges for a class of children from a local school in Borgerhout to take part in Theatre Storm: a dynamic workshop week led by teachers in a professional setting.  Through play, the children are introduced to various aspects of theatre, music, movement and/or image as they work towards a try-out for parents and the neighbourhood at the end of their week, which just happens to be Arts Day for Children.

You are most welcome to come along to the try-out at Matterhorn (Albrecht Rodenbachstraat 21 in Borgerhout) at 14 hrs on Sunday15 November 2026. 

As well as Theatre Storm, Laika is launching Theatre Storm XL, an accessible theatre atelier, which will see the creativity of children from Borgerhout blossom over an eight-week period. The first Theatre Storm XL will take place in 2027. Keep an eye on our website and social media for more information!

Join us on a journey to the depths of time. A journey packed with miraculous encounters with a stressed-out hippopotamus and an elephant with an itch, hospitable aunts, a love-struck billy goat and an untrustworthy crow. A musical trip, with nothing in your pocket other than a fistful of courage and a real zest for life.?

Amadou is an ode to the art of telling stories through incantatory music.

On tour in Belgium and France until the end of November. 

After their successful collaboration on the alchemistic laboratory BALSAM and long runs of shows at home and abroad, Zefiro Torna and Laika are joining forces once again in a performance that fine-tunes the senses.

Can tastes be audible, colours tangible, smells visible? Images, tastes, smells and textures converge with live electro-acoustic music, while sonic layers meld with mesmerizing 15th-century melodies, and the whole piece becomes a single, layered sensory experience. HYPERSENSES subtly throws the brain off balance and plunges the audience into an intense state of euphoria.

On tour in Belgium, the Netherlands and France until the end of November. 

What is air?
Two little creatures try to figure it out.
From breathing and whistling to farting.
But who does the air actually belong to?
And can you take hold of it?
And then the air that had been so invisible is suddenly there very tangibly between them. And each goes for it!

AIR is about making something out of nothing and having the world believe that it has a value. It is a wordless and dancing show about everything and nothing. Two sprightly creatures try to trap air, hold it and cherish it. Until they start to get attached to it and themselves become the plaything of the forces of AIR...

On tour in Belgium until the end of November. 

On Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 December, we’ll be at hetpaleis with the mountain, our wordless, dance-driven performance.

A production about saying goodbye and prolonging time, about loss and longing, about how things were and what is left. Two characters perform an intimate dialogue, dancing, musical and visual. An oscillation between those who go and those who remain. Between sadness and anger, deathly silence and loud raging, between bitter and sweet, feathery and pitch-dark.

A story told in few words, inviting us to pause and reflect in a world now deficient in mourning rituals.

There are still a few tickets left! More information and tickets on the hetpaleis website.

With this message, Laika supports the call of the Flemish cultural institutions to the Belgian government for a more decisive policy against Israel’s flagrant human rights violations in Gaza and the West Bank. We urge the Belgian government to work towards a ceasefire, respect for international law, and the protection of human rights organizations.
