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.

What do you get?

  • A spot on stage at Korzo Theater in The Hague – an opportunity to present your work in a professional setting, to an audience eager to discover new makers;

  • A fee of €300 per person, with a total maximum of €900 per group (excluding VAT, including travel expenses);

  • Technical support during both setup and the performance;

  • Professional social media content to showcase your work and share your story as a maker.

Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for makers who:

  • Have a strong connection to the The Hague region (such as living, working, or being active in The Hague, Delft, Zoetermeer, or Rijswijk);

  • Have an existing work of max. 15 minutes that is still in development or part of your creative growth process – so not works that have already been extensively toured;

  • Can work within a space of 10x10 meters and can provide either a full video of the piece (max. 15 min), or a shorter excerpt along with a clear concept description (smartphone footage is fine!);

  • Are available on the following dates:

    • Wednesday 15 October (content creation day)

    • Wednesday 19 November (technical setup)

    • Thursday 20 November (performance day)
