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!

Songwriter, singer, and guitarist Ben Chasny – also known from the legendary American noise rock band Comets On Fire – started his Six Organs of Admittance project in the late 1990s. With it, he became one of the pioneers of the new folk movement, alongside Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, and CocoRosie. After numerous projects (such as Badgerlore, August Born, 200 Years, Rangda, …) and more than twenty albums, he released the solo album Time Is Glass on Drag City. Rural-industrial, psyched-out new folk that commands serious respect.

PEEKABOO

Maxime Dreesen & De Studio

theatre

TICKETS

What would your life look like if you could rediscover your sexuality in public space?

PEEKABOO is a vision of a world transformed into a sex playground. This universe depicts new ways of contact through ‘cruising’: seeking fleeting, sexual contacts in the open air.

Theatre maker Maxime Dreesen approaches this phenomenon as getting lost in a web of experimental relationships and unexpected encounters.

Driven by a unique creative synergy, TUKAN blends powerful electronic sounds with organic textures, creating a soundscape as vibrant on stage as it is on their albums.
