Bruxelles, for so we must call it in connection with this annual festival, is home to nearly one million French-speaking Belgians. The 28th Noël au Théâtre had 23 shows programmed in six venues across the wider city and suburban communes. It is organised by the Chambre des Théâtres pour l’Enfance et la Jeunesse (www.ctej.be). The core approach of the 60 CTEJ member companies in the 5 million French-speaking community of Wallonie–Bruxelles is that they are artists, the aim is to innovate, develop and strive for perfection in the art of theatre.
