OPEN DAG

After his controversial performance WINTER/21/J and the hypnotic LENTE/22/K, the leading role in Ryan Djojokarso's third dance portrait HERFST is reserved for Death. A visually impressive crossover between dance, (opera) music, theater and imagery in which farewell rituals from different cultures come together. Every culture says goodbye to loved ones differently. From the slice of cake at the coffee table to an exuberant celebration of life. Rituals give passage to our grieving process.

Club Gewalt celebrates its ten year anniversary. Ten years full of love, art, rock ‘n’ roll and attending protests. Time to celebrate! A subdued birthday get-together morphs into a fiery arena where alternative forms of conflict are faced and fought out. A performance that acts as a killjoy by disturbing the peace - because peace is for political pussies and harmony is reserved for tone deaf fascists. Party of the decade: FOMO guaranteed.

Leo Alkemade has found his way to the theater with an exceptionally strong band and a sung-in-Dutch, gem of a record under his arm. Of course, we know him from his cabaret performances, successful films and top-ratings shows, but in In het wiel, we get acquainted with a new side of Leo. Under the wings of Guus Meeuwis, Leo has already released a beautiful record of Dutch songs. About his love for the path and the path of love. In this theater concert, he sings about the parallel between cycling and life. About falling down and getting up, losing and winning, and looking back and looking ahead. Music at its best, or rather: at its Alkemadest.

Loulou & Lou! Sinterklaas is back in the country! And what a festive visit it will be this year. Together we will dance, sing and roar with laughter along with the best Sinterklaas music.

No one is a mother by nature. You become it. With trial and error. MELK is a brave new musical about motherhood in all its facets. A candid musical full of courage and humor, created and told by a collective of explosive new talent. After seeing this 'mother breeding' musical, you’ll see your mother, yourself and that woman with the screaming child in an airplane through a totally different lens.

Ping Win is a performance about change for toddlers, preschoolers and their adults. Ping Win lives in a black and white world where everything becomes penguin. Even the garbage seems to have a beak. Then suddenly, something colorful creeps into this black and white world. Everything changes all the time. Including you, too. As soon as you come into the world, you already start the change. And it can all be quite complicated as a toddler or preschooler. Are you changing? Or is only the rest changing? A performance of primary shapes and colors, especially created for our youngest audience group.

Valentina Tóth's first full-length performance is called Wildbloei, an ode to this hysterical woman. In her tragicomic, musical and #over the top# one-woman show, she explores the boundaries and clichés of the image of women in our society. Armed with a good dose of musicality, humor, quick transitions and fantastic characters, she keeps her audience in sight with #Wildbloei#, and hopefully generates a bit of sympathy. Or alienation. That’s fine too.

With the best of intentions, Thijs van de Meeberg dives straight in, looking for the answer to the question: how do I protect the peace? Thijs gets to work. Sturdy, clumsy and like an unguided missile. Anger is the only thing we still have in common. With the best of intentions, Thijs invites you to cherish that anger a little more with him. Met de beste bedoelingen is his fourth solo performance. He is praised for his clever story structure and great talent for improvisation.
