"Art can change the world, as long as everyone can take part in it"
Gregory Caers
Theatre Director
Experienced Freelance Director and Festival Curator, Passionate about Empowering People and Engaging Society Through Art.
With a wealth of international experience, Gregory specializes in crafting captivating performances that bring together both seasoned professionals and enthusiastic non-professional actors across the realms of theatre and opera. His collaborations span across renowned theatre houses in the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium.
"My fascination with the transformative power of art runs deep. It possesses a unique ability to both challenge and center us as individuals, while also offering solace, familiarity, and the strength to those traversing challenging paths.
I firmly believe that every brush with art enriches the human experience, providing fresh perspectives on the world we inhabit. It fosters critical thinking, resolute action, and an expanded capacity for tolerance. Art serves as an impeccable conduit for probing entrenched beliefs, emotions, and viewpoints held by its audience. This potency emanates from its intrinsic nature as a shared encounter, one that unites creator and spectator in a collective journey of exploration."
