fABULEUS is a unique production house for many types of performing arts: performance, dance, circus and (text)theatre or oftentimes combinations. At the core of fABULEUS lies the artistic collaboration between (very) young talent and (more) experienced makers.
Sometimes youngsters are on stage, other times (emerging) professionals. fABULEUS offers them the necessary framework to develop their qualities as a performer, dancer or maker and has an international exemplary role in that area. With its energising dance and theatre performances, fABULEUS enthuses year after year a remarkably varied audience of all ages, with special attention to youngsters and children.
fABULEUS works out of the Public Warehouse for the Arts (OPEK) in Leuven. It is one of the three city companies in Leuven and also a permanent resident at Kunstencentrum STUK.
fABULEUS is a much-loved guest at festivals and cultural centres for school, family and evening performances both inside and outside the Belgian borders. In 2016 they won the Ultima Flemish Cultural Prize in the Performing Arts Category. In recent years, they have been selected several times for Het TheaterFestival, which annually selects the most important pieces of the past artistic season. Productions such as Snipperdagen, Liefdesverklaring, Klutserkrakkekilililokatastrof, Paradise Now (1968-2018) and 8.2 were among the prestigious selection.
