ITA X AMMODO
Ammodo has supported International Theater Amsterdam since 2013 (and previously supported Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam and Toneelgroep Amsterdam). In 2020, this collaboration was anchored in a production partnership.
A lasting collaboration
Ammodo has been supporting the international ambitions of International Theater Amsterdam for over ten years. It began with theatre festival Brandhaarden, which grew into a platform for the best international makers and companies. With Ammodo’s support, the ensemble also played in the industrial environment of the Ruhrtriennale, and several renowned theater makers such as Angélica Liddell and Isabelle Huppert were invited to the Netherlands. With the support of Ammodo, ITA also produced several ensemble performances that, after premiering in Amsterdam, were also performed internationally, such as Giovanni’s Room, Julie, Penthesilea, Age of Rage, and A Little Life.
Production partnership
As of 2020, Ammodo is production partner of ITA, a collaboration which enables the production of several performances per year – both ITA productions and international co-productions. Thanks to this, ITA can continue to fulfill its role as a melting pot of excellent international theatre. For the period 2026–2028, Ammodo will also continue this collaboration with ITA within the production partnership. In the 2025–2026 season, Prophet Song by Mina Salehpour with the ITA ensemble, The Architect by Rebecca Frecknall with the ITA ensemble, and Ihsane by Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui / Eastman, in co-production with ITA, will receive support within this partnership.
-|-“ITA has an international reputation for leading the way in the performative arts. By supporting ITA’s forward-looking and state-of-the-art performances, Ammodo contributes to the advancement of theatre.”
– Juliette de Wijkerslooth, director of Ammodo
