Krokus aka SUNFLOWERFESTIVAL: Thu 26 – Su 29 August 2021

The reason is obvious why we couldn’t organize a Krokusfestival in February. But we don’t give up! And here we are: Krokus has become SUNFLOWER for once and will take place in Hasselt from Thursday 26th until Sunday 29th of August.

This time we opt for more site-specific shows at different places in the city. Yes, for sure, some shows are presented in a theatre venue (taking care of all safety regulations), but you can also find us in the city park, in a parking lot, in the city centre, in a nature park, in the Hasselt university, and many other places. Be prepared for dance, acrobatics, theatre, robots, an amazing exhibition!

As such, this is a genuine Krokusedition: no less than 7 premieres of new shows are presented, as well as a work-in-progress and a Belgian premiere. Adventurous and a bit challenging: that’s how we like it.

Our professionel friends and colleagues will receive a first infomail in June 21. We do realize that travel, even late August, might still be a bit more difficult. But for all of you who plan to come: WELCOME. We will do our utmost best to present a safe and pleasant festival to you.

PROFESSIONAL ONLINE NETWORK

This pandemic has taught us how to connect in the virtual world. Though that too has a an ecological footprint, it has been a way to stay connected. Krokusfestival opts to be a live festival, but we realize that travel at the end of August might still be limited. So we will announce a digital network platform where the companies present at the festival, and some other Flemish companies, will present their work and shows to all of you. Thé opportunity, if you can’t make it to Hasselt, to get to know the companies and their shows ready for international touring when possible.

In June we will inform you all about this platform. If you are in our database, you will automatically receive a mail. If not, please mail to krokusfestival@ccha.be.
