Festivals at PLT - the place for special festival experiences
Theatre, dance, music, performance: at PLT you experience it all. Every year, we are home to several high-profile festivals. Together with our partners, we bring special makers, companies and productions to Heerlen, Kerkrade and Sittard. Familiar work, new voices, and always something that stays with you.
Some festivals return every year. Others are new or one-offs. What they share: they bring energy, depth and an audience that wants to experience something.
Whether you like innovative dance, site-specific theatre or visual performance: at our festivals you will discover the unexpected.
