Het Debuut 2026

Het Debuut launches new theatre talent in an evening-length programme. Three completely different makers present their work - which performances they are remains a surprise. The young makers are guided by George Tobal, a Debuut mentor from the very beginning.

Via Rudolphi Producties has been giving new theatre makers a platform for 15 years through this initiative. Previous participants have grown into established names such as Rundfunk, Performancecollectief URLAND, ROTOR, Tarik Moree & Tim Olivier Somer, Marie-Mae van Zuilen, Julie Boellaard & Sweder de Sitter and Femi van Elshuis.

The press wrote earlier: "The concept guarantees unpolished theatre gems from emerging makers you often encounter again later in the regular circuit." - De Volkskrant ★★★★ | "A remarkable, annual initiative that cannot be praised enough and actually deserves more followers." - NRC ●●●●
