COLOURS
Het Scheldeoffensief was founded in 2017 by theatre maker Frank Dierens (including KOPERGIETERY 'Kopbeest', 'First Snow', 'Dallas', Comp. Marius and Laika) and pedagogue An Van den Bergh. With Het Scheldeoffensief, they make (location) theatre with people with mental and/or physical disabilities. On the one hand, they organise weekly inclusive theatre workshops, and on the other they create an annual performance using a professionally framed programme.
