The Lighthouse

AN ODE TO ART

The Lighthouse presents local talent from different backgrounds and institutes to unify the art scene of Maastricht. The program presents works by amateurs, students and professionals in the Performing Arts on a scale from experimental to polished endproducts. 

A collaboration between Vrijthof Theatre and curator Yala Claessens for the community to benefit from the connecting and enlightening power of art. The topic of BELONGING weaves the thread throughout the evening.
