About

In 2012, founder Dieter Bussche established the street theater company Bonpardon. Since then, the company has grown into a prominent name in Belgian street theater through workshops, training, and countless performances. Their greatest source of inspiration and continuous learning? The university of the street.

Bonpardon offers a diverse and versatile program. Think of interactive walk acts with playful vehicles, the humorous and interactive show 'That's Amore', ongoing mini-performances in a life-sized birdhouse (NEST), and a welcoming act called 'You're Welcome'. Additionally, the company also creates tailor-made productions.

Starting in 2025, Bonpardon will debut a world first: the very first street theater act where street performance and AI technology come together in 'Fabriek Majestiek'. More details on this will follow soon.

In the meantime, they continue to innovate and develop new ideas. Bonpardon has grown into a full-fledged company with several actors.

Driven by their passion for street theater and the magic of the streets, Bonpardon strives for high-quality, original acts full of improvisation, up close and with the audience!
