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.
This time in Playground:
Open Call: 20 January – 2 March 2026
What do we offer?
- The opportunity to perform at Korzo Theatre in The Hague;
- A fee of €300 per person, with a maximum of €900 (excluding VAT and including travel expenses);
- Technical support during set-up and the performance;
- Social media content to promote your work and share more about who you are as an artist;
- A one-hour advisory session focused on your development as an artist.
Who are we looking for?
- You have a clear connection to the The Hague region (including Delft, Zoetermeer, and Rijswijk). This means you live, work, or are actively based in The Hague;

You can submit either a video of the (full) performance (max. 15 minutes), or a shorter excerpt that gives a clear impression of the work, accompanied by a clear description of your concept (the video may be recorded on a smartphone);
- You are available for a content creation day on Wednesday 1 April, and of course for the performance on Thursday 7 May.
You can apply for Playground until Monday, 2 March.
You will hear from us by 23 March whether you have been selected.
