In 2022, Boulevard arranged an attractive festival centre in Zuiderpark, just as in 2021. Boulevard presented theatre and dance in theatre tents, free pop-up selections of dance and circus, context programmes in its own pavilion. And of course, there were restaurants and food trucks as well. This year, Boulevard partly returned to the Parade with musical theatre and a children's programme in the BLVRD Theater and cosy places for food and drinks.

Bigger performances took place throughout the city: indoors and outdoors, on (temporary) stages, in museums, in public areas and on different locations! From nature reserves to shops and unoccupied premises, on a rooftop or in a café.

We will show warm-blooded theatre works by performing artists from all corners of the world. In recent years, we hosted among others, Liz Aggiss [United Kingdom], Compagnia Pippo Delbono [Italy],

Milo Rau [CHE/Belgium], Miet Warlop [Belgium], Rimini Protokoll [Denmark], Berlin [Belgium], Compagnie Marie Chouinard [Canada], Alessandro Sciarroni [Italy], Studio Orka [Belgium], Ben Duke [United Kingdom], Tabea Martin [Switzerland], Igor&Moreno [United Kingdom], Chiara Bersani [Italy], Daniel Mariblanca [Norway], Mélanie Demers [Canada] and Benjamin Verdonck [Belgium]. There are returning companies and artists from the Netherlands, such as Dries Verhoeven, De Warme Winkel, Schweigman&, Lotte van den Berg, Corpo Máquina/ Guilherme Miotto, Alexandra Broeder, Alida Dors, Theater Artemis/Jetse Batelaan and Schippers&VanGucht. Furthermore, we show works from new generations of performing artists, such as Francesca Lazzeri, Katja Heitmann and Jija Sohn.

In the DNA of the festival, you find the southern and soulful characteristics of the city of ‘s-Hertogenbosch: hospitality and generosity with the belief in the power of the imagination.
