You come to SHIFT because you want to understand what’s happening in your mind, in the world, with others, within yourself, on both a grand and intimate scale. It’s made for curious thinkers and critical dreamers. An initiative by Explore the North and Stadsschouwburg De Harmonie.
SHIFT presents raw, honest, relevant, and disruptive performing arts.
Throughout the year, SHIFT presents must-see performances at diverse locations outside the conventional theater paths. From spoken word to postmodern dance. From theatrical manifestos to poetic requiems. These are works by both emerging and established creators who speak to the present moment and the future.
