Events

Rif is a vibrant workshop for musical theatre. From our open space in the Deurneleitje in Mortsel, we build a dynamic environment where ideas can emerge, branch out and renew. Like a coral reef, Rif grows by interacting with a healthy environment. Our ecosystem relies on collaboration between artists, local residents and researchers. The core for this is artistic experimentation. But in addition, together with neighbours and partners, we also dream of a large neighbourhood garden that encourages encounters and biodiversity. Curious to help build this growing whole? Read below how you can contribute to the story of Rif.
