Freedom meal 12 to 14 o'clock The motto of this year's Freedom Meal at the Goethe-Institut Amsterdam is ‘Freedom is freedom for all’. Freedom for all also means freedom from restrictions for people with physical or mental disabilities. These restrictions are still common in the cultural sector: in dance, in theatre, in music, in front of and behind the stage and in the auditorium. Can we feel free if not everyone has the freedom to enjoy art, to express themselves artistically and to be seen and appreciated in the process? These are physical barriers, but also barriers in people's minds. A start has been made, but there is still a long way to go. We can all open up and broaden our view of the world, of our fellow human beings and of art. We want to discuss these topics during the Freedom Meal. Filmscreenings and talk 15 to 16 o'clock In the afternoon, you are cordially invited to the Amsterdam premiere of the films A Bird Named Mansour and Muses in the presence of the makers. The films by Compagnie Tiuri give an insight into the beauty of inclusive dance. After the films, there will be an opportunity to talk to the makers. A Bird named Mansour & Muses NL/UK 2024 Director: Jordy Dik With Holly Brennan, Timur Dam, Damien de Hoog, Margriet Jacobs, Yun-Chi Mai, Igor Memic, Eloy Cojal Mestre, Matthea Lara Pedersen, Sabine Van Riel, Piers Sanders, Rowan van Sen, Gaetano Signorelli & Toon Theunissen Muses follows five performers from Compagnie Tiuri, who have caused a furore in recent years with ground-breaking and inclusive performances. Here, people with and without cognitive disabilities share the stage together in performances that touch and connect. Inspired by birds - symbols of freedom and the desire to fly towards a peaceful future - the dance film A Bird Named Mansour speaks to the simple but profound desire to live together in harmony, reminding us that none of us can be truly free until freedom is for all. The films were made possible by the Holland Dance Festival and Fonds Podiumkunsten. After the end of the day's programme, you are cordially invited to a borrel with music (in our garden, weather permitting). Note on accessibility: Our own building, a listed canal house, is unfortunately not yet accessible on all floors. The event will therefore take place on the ground floor and is generally accessible for people who use a wheelchair. Please let us know when you register if you use a wheelchair so that we can prepare your participation as well as possible. Thank you very much!

We can all open up and broaden our view of the world, of our fellow human beings and of art. We want to discuss these topics during the Freedom Meal. Filmscreenings Muses & A Bird Named Mansour by Jordy Dik 15 to 16 o'clock Thanks to Hofesh Shechter Company, Compagnie Tiuri, Holland Dance Festival & Fonds Podiumkunsten. Jordy Dik and some other makers will be present. The program begins with the documentary Muses, in which the spectator follows the work of choreographer Jordy Dik through his dancers and muses. “To really get to know me, you have to get to know the people who can move my inside like no other,” says Jordy. At the invitation of Hofesh Shechter, Jordy was given the opportunity to work with the renowned Shechter II from the Hofesh Shechter Company in London during the summer of 2024. A dream come true through the ‘Fast Forward’ program of the Performing Arts Fund NL. “But dreams that become reality just for you bring no satisfaction.” That’s why he brought five dancers from Compagnie Tiuri – a leading and inclusive dance theater company that has enchanted the Netherlands in recent years with groundbreaking productions (BNG Bank Dance Prize ’23). Jordy is a co-founder and artistic leader of the company, and there is no one he believes in, trusts, and values more than these exceptional dancers. He considers them his Muses. In the eponymous documentary, a new and exciting world unfolds in London, where the company is away from home for the first time for such an extended period. They forge new friendships, find inspiration, face challenges, and, above all, experience moving moments. After the documentary, the dance film A Bird Named Mansour will be shown. This is the artistic and cinematic result of the ten days both companies shared together. A Bird Named Mansour is grounded in the unsettling reality of today’s world—a world filled with chaos, where countless children are forced to flee their homes in search of safety. It directly reflects on the choices of world leaders who too often opt for violence instead of saving lives, a harsh commentary on our current global landscape. Inspired by birds—symbols of freedom and the yearning to fly towards a peaceful future—the film speaks to the simple yet profound desire to live together in harmony. At its core, A Bird Named Mansour serves as both a mirror to our times and a call for change, reminding us that none of us can truly be free until freedom belongs to all. Jordy Dik (he/him), award-winning choreographer, community artist, and artistic leader of the inclusive dance theatre company Compagnie Tiuri, takes on the role of director in his short dance film A Bird Named Mansour, funded through the Fast Forward Program of Performing Arts Fund NL. With this opportunity, Jordy not only conceptualized and choreographed but also personally filmed and edited the entire piece, creating a new and deep learning experience in choreography and filmmaking. After the end of the day's programme, you are cordially invited to a borrel with live music by David Golek (guitar) and Cord Heineking (bass) in our garden, weather permitting. Note on accessibility: Our building, a listed canal house, is unfortunately not yet accessible on all floors. The event will therefore take place on the ground floor and is generally accessible for people who use a wheelchair. Please let us know when you register if you use a wheelchair so that we can prepare your participation as well as possible. Thank you very much!

Napoletano classe ’96, Vincenzo Comunale ha vinto diversi premi nazionali, come il “Premio Massimo Troisi” e il “Premio Charlot”, ed ha partecipato a diversi programmi televisivi come “Battute?” (in seconda serata su Rai 2), “Le Iene” (Italia 1), vari format su Comedy Central ed è nel cast fisso di “Zelig” (in prima serata su canale 5), condotto da Claudio Bisio e Vanessa Incontrada. Col suo ultimo spettacolo di stand up comedy “Definitivo3” ha calcato i palchi delle principali città italiane, facendo anche due date per Italiani all’estero (a Londra e Parigi). 🎤 7 MAGGIO 📌 CLINK COMEDY CLUBAutore e interprete di 3 spettacoli comici e di uno special disponibile online dal titolo “Un’Altra Cosa”, Vincenzo Comunale propone uno spettacolo dal vivo composto da monologhi comici che spaziano su vari argomenti, cercando sempre di guardare la realtà da altre angolazioni, evidenziandone le contraddizioni ed esprimendo punti di vista originali. Comunale da voce alla sua generazione (28 anni, a metà tra millennials e generazione Z) e la sua città (ironizza e ribalda gli stereotipi su Napoli, ma rifuggendo sempre dalla retorica). Lo spettatore è costantemente coinvolto, non per essere preso in giro, ma per essere parte attiva dello show: le risposte del pubblico diventano motore narrativo dello spettacolo stesso grazie ai frequenti momenti di improvvisazione. Argomenti e notizie di attualità vengono spesso integrate nello spettacolo, il che, assieme alle improvvisazioni, rende ogni replica diversa dalla precedente. “Vincenzo Comunale Live” è un one man show che comprende un insieme dei cavalli di battaglia tratti dai precedenti spettacoli e di pezzi inediti.

Gary, Indiana plays comedy shows where everything is made up on the spot. And the best part? You get to decide what we're doing.Improvisational comedy is live theater where everything is created spontaneously by the actors. We take suggestions from the audience, and then nobody knows what happens next, including us! It's a high-wire act, and Gary's performers have been enjoying that act for many years – we're lucky to have a crew of veteran improvisers who get their kicks from fast-paced, energetic comedy, and many of us have been even luckier to play these kinds of shows around the world, from small pubs to big theaters. Right now, we play our regular sets at Vice Versa in Amsterdam... for free! They say there's no such thing as a free lunch, but there's such a thing as free improv. Some of us have been honing the comedy in pubs for over fifteen years (think of all that liquor!) and it really is a one-of-a-kind vibe. If you haven't been to Vice Versa, we highly recommend it: ask for a craft beer, or better yet, a cocktail. The bartender's a certified mixologist but he'd never brag about it, so we're doing it on his behalf. Then all you have to do is relax, sit back and enjoy the ride. Sounds like fun? Then see you at our shows! Information Source: Gary, Indiana | eventbrite
