Wallonie-Bruxelles Théâtre Danse (WBTD) is the public agency providing support for the export of theatre, dance and circus creations from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.

  • Support with filming
  • Support with translating shows and producing surtitles in a foreign language 

WBTD also establishes partnerships to host international professionals on the occasion of various festivals (Propulse, Kunstenfestivaldesarts, La Piste aux Espoirs, Festival UP!, Unes fois d'un Soir, Noël au Théâtre, Export/Import, etc.).

Finally, WBTD wishes to promote the scheduling of shows originating from Brussels and Wallonia internationally and is always seeking international partnerships for the organisation of Focus FWB events.
