During PLATEAU26, you will be introduced to the sixteen makers from Traject25-26 by Platform In De Maak.

Throughout the entire weekend, from afternoon to evening, the makers will take over STUK. The program unfolds via various routes, allowing you to discover the work of different makers, alongside additional activities such as workshops and a brunch.

Expect surprising work that is fresh, innovative, and ready for an audience. Immerse yourself in a new generation of emerging talent. You will receive a warm welcome.

For PLATEAU26, a pay-what-you-can system is used where visitors can choose between different amounts, because everyone should feel welcome to discover new stage work.

A day ticket grants access to all performances of that day, and a weekend ticket to all performances of the festival. The workshops can be attended free of charge.

The proceeds from PLATEAU26 ensure that Platform In De Maak can support a new group of makers next season as well. Platform In De Maak supports emerging performing arts makers, placing mutual collaboration and support at the center of its operations. In this way, Platform In De Maak aims to contribute to a supportive and sustainable arts field. During Traject25-26, the entire artistic organization, including the organization of this festival, is a collective responsibility of the makers, who relate to each other and to the arts field in a horizontal manner.

PLATEAU26 is organized in collaboration with STUK and with support from the City of Leuven.
