The Dutch Theatre Festival Heerlen
In February 2025, the Dutch Theatre Festival first landed in Heerlen with performances, talk shows and programmes for new talent. And good news the second edition of NTF Heerlen is coming up!
Review of first edition in 2025
The first edition was an instant hit: packed halls, an enthusiastic audience and a vibrant atmosphere. Festival director Tobias Kokkelmans looks back with satisfaction:
"It was a party. The performances, the talks, the contact with the audience... everything was right. I'm still walking on clouds."
What makes NTF Heerlen so special?
- The best performances of the year, in one place
- Talkshows and follow-up interviews with makers
- New encounters and unexpected inspiration
- A special programme for Limburg theatre makers
- NTF PRO: deepening and exchange for theatre professionals
One visitor called it "a gift to get carried away past all those beautiful performances." And after the performance SERDI? There was just a queue of people there to hug the creator.
