The Bourlaschouwburg is Antwerp's main city theatre, a handsome neoclassical building on Komedieplein dating from 1834. It hosts a varied programme of contemporary theatre, dance, and performance art, mostly in Dutch. The building itself is worth a look — the facade is stately, and the renovated interior balances period details with modern staging. Check the programme at Toneelhuis, the resident company, which regularly produces ambitious, boundary-pushing work.
