Artists draw inspiration from the times we live in: whether it’s classical repertoire seen through a contemporary lens or brand-new work by talented writers, choreographers, and performers. From global politics to war and conflict, from untold stories of the past to today’s fight for opportunity and equality.
Theatre as a reflection of the Zeitgeist, a source of inspiration for creators and companies from the Netherlands and beyond. In addition to the genres you know us for, you can navigate the programme through themes that capture the here and now. A different point of view, a connection of theatre, dance, and perspective. From ITA to the world.
YOU CAN NOT NOT SEE IT.
