Welcome to our Playground – Korzo’s creative playground!
At Playground, we celebrate the raw energy, boldness, and diversity of local talent.
This evening is a tribute to creators from The Hague: surprising, multifaceted, and full of character. Expect the unexpected—from dance to music, from circus to performance art. Our ‘playground’ reflects the creative soul of the city and serves as a platform where makers dare, dream, and do.
Each year, we receive dozens of applications from emerging local artists. A local jury selects four to five of them to present their work on our professional stage. Playground offers them more than just a spot in the spotlight—it provides visibility, guidance, and an engaged audience.
This is where new stories are born, boundaries blur, and the audience comes face to face with the city’s creative force. Experience an evening filled with fresh talent, contagious energy, and exciting performances!
At Playground, everyone is welcome—as a maker, as a spectator, or as a curious soul.
