    Female strength

    HomeFemale Strength
    © Fabian Calis
    Performances about autonomy, connection, vulnerability, resilience, strength and everything in between.

    Some stories change when you look at them through different eyes. What if Shakespeare’s Richard III were actually a woman? What if the lead character in Ibsen’s The Master Builder were a single mother with a successful career, rather than a man?

    This season, ITA once again welcomes strong women to create productions with the ensemble. Kjersti Horn brings new meaning to Wuthering Heights, while Alize Zandwijk adds a perspective to Richard that has long remained out of view: that of women living under occupation. Eline Arbo adapts The Copenhagen Trilogy, a production about a woman whose time had not yet come.

    The work of these powerful women does not stand alone. Throughout the programme, you will find productions that centre female perspectives, are created by inspiring women, or question the role and position of men (or women). Not to create an opposition. On the contrary, but to offer a richer and more nuanced view.

    Theatre, dance and performance that offer new ways of looking at the world and at one another.

    Een groep dansers in As we are beweegt voorovergebogen naar voren op een donker toneel, in lichte losvallende gewaden; de danser in het midden draagt een rood gewaad, de anderen wit, oker en paars.

    Dance
    Negen spelers uit Folk zijn als een piramide gegroepeerd op de trappen van een vervallen kerkinterieur, in een mengeling van hedendaagse en historische kleding; onderaan ligt een man op groene en paarse lappen stof, en er staan spitzen en sneakers door elkaar.

    Themes and genres

    Theatre is not just about what happens on stage. It is about the world we live in. About the questions that concern us, the stories that connect us, and perspectives that make us think.

    That is why you can explore our programme not only by genre, artist or company, but also through themes that resonate with the here and now. From identity and history to power, politics and social change.

    This allows you to discover new artists, stories and ideas across genres. And perhaps something new about the world around you, too.
