1-2-3 Festival is a contemporary dance festival.
It is our goal to show dance in its versatility and totality. With this festival we want to reach out to the world with our work and our vision on dance, which is:

• Creating and performing contemporary dance performances for a broad inclusive audience
• Creating and performing dance pieces with (vulnerable) youth
• Creating stage opportunities
  

The central theme of this years festival is Escapism.

• A live improvisation on stage where the dancers of the Collective and the youth of Overkop enter the stage together

What?

In a new more crazy version of the nutcracker, Roots Compagnie will share the stage with Symfonie orkest Vlaanderen

Fancy a wild musical ride? Then hop aboard Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker. Your ears will perk up at the familiar sounds of the Waltz of the Flowers or the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, but hold on tight: this classic comes with a delightful twist.

Prepare to be surprised by the Nutcracker, where a swinging symphonic orchestra and the fearless Kiki sweep you away on a whirlwind of adventures. Children's book writer Benny Lindelauf transports you to a world where miracles come true—if you dare to dream them hard enough. Take the plunge and let the nuts crackle with joy beneath your feet.
