HEAD OF THE FESTIVAL
Actor – Director
An actor, educator, and primarily a director, Axel De Booseré crossed paths with set designer Maggy Jacot in 1999, initiating a collaboration that spanned 12 years on productions for Compagnie Arsenic (including Le Dragon, Éclats d'Harms Cabaret, Macbeth, Dérapages, Le Géant de Kaillass, among others), where he also serves as artistic director. Since 2014, Axel has joined forces with Maggy Jacot and Compagnie Pop-Up, co-producing shows with leading institutions of the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles. Their collaborations include Alpenstock, staged over 70 times in Belgium, France, and Switzerland, as well as Juke-Box Opéra, Ubus (produced by Mons and Pilzen, Capitals of Culture in 2015), Vous êtes uniques, and Flash Party at the Royal Festival. As a dynamic duo, they have brought to life Mephisto by Thierry Debroux at the Théâtre Royal du Parc in 2017, along with Peter Pan (2022) and Pinocchio (2023) by Thierry Janssen. Since 2018, Axel holds the position of director at the Spa Royal Festival.
