City Talks Amsterdam

Every last Thursday of the month, International Theater Amsterdam (ITA) presents 'City Talks Amsterdam'. For this monthly talk show, they invite guests - from scientists to artists and from journalists to economists - to talk about social topics or urban trends. Together with the audience, they delve into a theme and ask what this means for Amsterdam and its residents.

Black Cat Theatre

Het is moeilijk om onder water goed te zien met een verrekijker

Die camera daar boven moet nog even geverfd worden

Ladder en verfroller

Schilderen of varen?

Grote paarse kwallen drijven door het water

Matroos door een verrekijker

Onder water

Storm op zee

De storm is overal!

Na afloop kunnen alle kinderen samen spelen met alle gevangen vissen

Storm in de kindervoorstelling

Nee die pollepels moet je gebruiken om te peddelen, niet om mee te spelen

Pas op een ijsberg!

Onder water wezens

Iedereen doet mee!

Ahoi (2-6 years)

Are you coming to sea? Come help build a ship or a boat, hoist the sails and make a long journey to an unknown destination. The waves sometimes ripple friendly, but sometimes they become high and wild. Is the wind blowing you in the right direction? Along the way you will discover funny creatures such as fish, seahorses, jellyfish and crabs.

Talk: Carmen, the degenerate genres

Artist Pedro G.

The Soft Winter Festival at the Plein Theater

This Christmas holiday, during the Zachte Winter Festival, there is a heartwarming program at the Plein Theater, for all ages! The festival consists of puppet theater performances for the whole family, delicious and affordable food from Tante Peggy, a comedy evening, the Amsterdam Winterstal in the OBA Oosterdok and a connecting end-of-year drink for the entire neighborhood. This festival is for everyone who believes in the power of radical softness, the theme of the Winter Festival this year. This offers a powerful counter-voice to the world that is often dominated by hard facts and quick judgments. PLEASE NOTE: the end times mentioned are an indication!

A Song for the Moon

“A wonderful production for young and old alike”, wrote the Dutch newspaper NRC after the premiere of A Song for the Moon. Theaterkrant magazine concluded that the production “deserves to become a regular part of the repertoire”. We took those words to heart: following the overwhelming success of this heart-warming family opera, we will be bringing it back to Studio Boekman for the Christmas holidays. Please note, that this opera is sung in the Dutch language.

The Nutcracker and the Mouse King

According to a German folk legend, nutcrackers are lucky charms. This magical meaning certainly seems to apply to the ballet The Nutcracker, which has captured the hearts of millions worldwide since its premiere in 1892.
