A Two Dogs Company is the team centred on the theatre-maker and artist Kris Verdonck and represents the continuation of his small Stilllab company. In recent years, Verdonck’s artistic practice has developed, expanded and internationalised to such an extent that its growth can only be consolidated if a small, flexible organisation is able to follow up on and structure the work on a permanent basis. Kris Verdonck is receiving an operational subsidy for the first time, which immediately signalled the start of A Two Dogs Company and his residency at the Kaaitheater.

De Munt is a federal cultural institution. In 1963 De Munt was officially named National Opera. A major turning point in the history of the Royal Monnaie was the appointment in 1981 of Gerard Mortier as general director. During his directorate, not only the building was thoroughly modernized; he also artistically reorganized the Monnaie's choir and symphonic orchestra and employed new and young staff. All this, and Mortier's choice of a more personal and peculiar repertoire, turned the Monnaie into an opera of international stature and renown.

At the basis of Muziektheater van Zilverpapier's music theatre are unexpected encounters between artistic genres and people of very different origins. Its productions basically involve confrontations between old and new, North and South, professional and non-professional, classical and contemporary, in an ongoing search of new forms of trans-cultural and multi-disciplinary music theatre. Driving force Brigitte Mys chose the company's name referring to the bygone western custom to collect silver foil and little mirrors ‘to help the underdeveloped countries'...

Ever since it was founded in 1996, Muziektheater Tirasila has developed an expressive theatrical language. Its frame of reference is non-western traditional theatre forms and genres (kabuki, noh, kathakali, Beijing opera...) ánd western physical theatre concepts alike (Artaud, Meyerhold, Brecht, Kantor, Brook, Mnouchkine, Toneelgroep Ceremonia). Headed by theatre maker Vital Schraenen, the company pursues a form of total theatre in which the multi-disciplinary performer occupies a central position.
