Our festivals
Cirque Mania Festival
From sawdust to theatre plush… In March 2016 Korzo hosted the very first Cirque Mania weekend, with which we wished to create a place for the emerging developments in ‘New Circus’. Currently there are many such festivals and weekends throughout the country circus has become a familiar part of Korzo and The Hague.
The 15th edition of Cirque Mania will take place in October 2023.
India Dans Festival
During the India Dance Festival, Korzo celebrates the rich Indian dance and culture. From Kathak to break and from Bharatanatyam to modern dance; Korzo presents leading and emerging talents from the Netherlands and abroad. Inspiring performances by major international artists are alternated with refreshing, modern in-house productions. There are also opportunities for the dance community to meet, present work and attend workshops.
India Dance Festival will be back in 2024!
CaDance Festival
The festival for contemporary dance and movement
For ten days, CaDance is the place where worlds meet and collide. Like in a crowded club where there is suddenly space to walk between people. The question is: who will you let yourself be moved by?
CaDance returns to The Hague in 2025.
Our series
Open Studio
With Open Studio, you can take a look behind the scenes at Korzo.
Creatives and artists who are at work in the studio’s invite the public to come and watch during their creative process. We regularly open our doors to the public. This may be for a new performance, but can also be during residences and research projects. Come and take a look behind the scenes and get to know the artists at work in our theatre.
Korzo Sunday Sessions
Korzo Sunday Sessions is a recurring program where you can enjoy Korzo in all its facets. Each afternoon is programmed around a social theme that Korzo wishes to give a platform. The subject is discussed by well-known experts outside Korzo and creatives associated with Korzo. The subject is then examined from various angles, questioned and challenged.
In short, an afternoon with food for the soul, for thought, and not unimportantly, your stomach.
Rewire x Korzo
Rewire x Korzo is a year-round concert series organised by international music festival Rewire and The Hague-based theatre for contemporary dance and music.

Rewire Festival
Rewire is an annual international festival for adventurous music. Across four days, Rewire brings together a wide range of musical and interdisciplinary performances, specially commissioned works, club nights, installations, talks, screenings, and more.
(Un)heard Music Festival
Music that touches you is often music that overwhelms you, in an unguarded moment. Or music that is completely unfamiliar and surprises you. With the (Un)heard Music Festival, the Matangi Quartet wants to achieve exactly that. Here, works are put in the spotlight that do not get the attention they deserve and are therefore rarely or never heard on the Dutch concert stage. But in addition, works that are related to these unheard works and are, in fact, well-known. The aim of the festival is to touch art-loving audiences and traditional music lovers of all ages with new, unknown music and different art forms.
Festival Dag in de Branding
Festival Dag in de Branding has grown to become one of the leading festivals for new music in The Netherlands. Four times a year Dag in de Branding organises a one-day program in different locations throughout The Hague. The festival showcases current developments in classical and improvised music, musical theatre, jazz and pop music, opera and electronica.
Crossing Border
For three nights Korzo will be taken over by the leading international literature and music festival Crossing Border. A programme with Dutch and Flemish talent: poetry, spoken word, music and crossovers.
De Betovering
During the autumn break the city of Hague will be enchanted again by De Betovering. Children up to 12 years can visit theatre or danceshows or try their hand in one of the numerous workshops.
Musical Utopias
Musical Utopias, the annual festival by Ensemble Klang and Korzo, explores the relationship we as humans have with our environment and social and political activism. The festival brings together musicians and makers from a range of disciplines. Makers who all strive to create new worlds in their work. Makers who invite the audience to participate in a hopeful journey towards the unknown and the future.
