SAVE THE EUROPEES FIGURENTHEATERCENTRUM

Maybe you heard it yet. The Europees FigurenTheaterCentrum has to leave, before the end of September, definitively his base in the Trommelstraat, situated in the cozy Patershol.

We programmed, during 25 years, with pleasure representations, exhibitions and workshops. The EFTC is the place to be, during the Gentse Feesten, to enjoy, in peace, the performances of the International Puppetbuskersfestival, that celebrates his 25th anniversary.

It does hurt us that the owner, the province-government of East Flanders, wants us to leave this site, without looking for alternatives. Beneath that, we are for the Flemish community only a local event, without international emanation.

Luckily there is the proud city of Ghent who stays a loyal partner and who looks with us for a solution. until now without results. The EFTC stays “homeless”.

We won’t let this happen. We want to ask you, our loyal audience, to support us and to sign this petition. So we can show that there is a heart for puppet theatre in Ghent. Together with the International Puppetbuskersfestival the EFTC is a fixed value in our city.
