In his productions, Milo Rau often mixes amateurs with professional actors, reality with fiction. For his opening production The Ghent Altarpiece he put more than 50 citizens of Ghent on stage to re-enact the Ghent Altarpiece, made by The Van Eyck brothers. Rau has made more than 50 plays, films, events and books. For his work he has received various prizes, e.g. in 2018 the European Theatre Prize. In 2020 he became honorary doctor at Ghent University.
