De Staat van de Stad 2025


In a city full of diversity, we look for what brings us together. Because solidarity and curiosity are not a luxury, but conditions for becoming resilient - against exclusion, polarisation and insecurity. Resilience means: standing firm in a world that is constantly changing. This starts close by - in your neighbourhood, your network, your city - and extends to global challenges. In 2025, we explore how curiosity about each other and about difference contributes to community, well-being and urban resilience.
-|-
This evening, we will explore what it takes to become more resilient together. The full programme will follow soon.

About Lieve Stad, 750

This performance is part of Lieve Stad, 750, a joint theater festival of Internationaal Theater Amsterdam and Meervaart. In honor of 750 years of Amsterdam, we are celebrating an extra-large edition in May with more than 50 performances in 14 theaters throughout the city. The festival brings everything together: the artists, the stages, the stories and the audience. We honor the city's rich traditions, but also give space to new voices and perspectives. Together we make Amsterdam - and we celebrate it.

Celebrate art. Celebrate the city. Celebrate together.
