THEATRE

The most important Belgian

theatre is the Théâtre National,

which stages high-quality

produc tions of mainly French

classics. Young Belgian

playwrights are showcased at

the private Théâtre Le Public,

while French 20th-century

and burl esque pieces are

staged in the beautifully res-

tored Théâtre Royal du Parc.

The main Dutch-language

company is the Koninklijke

Vlaamse Schouwburg (KVS)

or the Royal Flemish Theatre,

which uses several venues

clustered in central Brussels.

CINEMA

The massive Kinepolis

Bruxelles at Laeken boasts

25 screens for the latest

blockbusters, always in their

original languages. Mainstream

ambience and eclectic line-up

of films can be found at the

Arenberg-Galeries. The Nova

while the Actors Studio show-

cases foreign and art cinema.

Movy Club screens mainstream

films in opulent Art Deco

movie-palace surroundings.
