English Theatre Brussels
Town: Brussels Address: Rue Waelhem 73 Phone: +32 4 473 79 20 27 e-mail: Stephenchallens@theatreinenglish.be

Even before Brussels began to be considered the capital of Europe, it had the ambience of a cosmopolitan city. It cherished the traditions of Europe and appreciated the national contribution of all members of the future EU family. This attitude is best expressed in art. Proud of its theatrical traditions – both of the Flemish and French communities, Brussels encourages new establishments, the most popular of which is the English Comedy Club, or ECC, founded in the beginning of the 20th Century.

Kaaitheater
Town: Brussels Address: Place Sainctelette 20 Phone: +32 2 201 59 59 e-mail: info@kaaitheater.be	Price: 13 - 0 EUR

Kaaitheater was established in 1977. It started as an art festival held every two years. In the 80s, Kaaitheater became more than an artistic tradition. It expanded its programme and began to perform all year round in the two buildings it acquired and grew in influence as the art centre of Brussels. The programme of the theatre today focuses predominantly on modern works, including theatre plays, music and dance. Bigger production are held in its main building and other events take place in the smaller one - the Studios, a charmingly refurbished former brewery. Both are located very close to each other and just a few steps from the centre of the city.
