Dirk Van Vaerenbergh

Dirk Van Vaerenbergh is an actor with a passion for languages. He taught Swedish language and literature at the University of Ghent, but at the end of the last century he definitively opted for theatre. He played in the musicals Company (Royal Ballet of Flanders) and Amadeus (Music Hall), De Collega’s and Getuige ten laste (Loge 10). He acted with Ensemble Leporello in Macbethbranding, Fool for Love and Hoe het varken aan zijn krulstaart kwam. He often worked together with director Frank Van Laecke: Kuifje – de zonnetempel, Im Weissen Rössl, Die Fledermaus, Don Pasquale, Pauline en Paulette, Ben X and even twice in Daens - the musical. He played guest roles in Spoed, De Man, De Kotmadam, Wittekerke, Aspe, Niet voor Publicatie, Hof van Assisen and Booh!). Children know him as the lazy servant Kamiel in the series Prinsessia. Together with Dirk Brossé, Dirk created Ont-roerd, a musical theatre production about death and burial. To be seen this autumn.
Dirk likes to read, travel, drink too much coffee and study Chinese. It is a gift to take on this production again, to find his colleagues again and to discover that the dresses still fit him.
This Gardenia is for his husband Rob, stepson Sebastian and of course Nelly.
