Come join fellow alumni for an adventurous evening of on-location Holland Festival theater in Amsterdam, followed by drinks and networking.
In the FOZ-building on the Amsterdam Zuidas the British theater troup DreamThinkSpeak has created a dreamlike world of change where the forces of old and new clash. Directed by Tristan Sharps, Before I Sleep is an hour-long performance installation inspired by the tragicomic play The Cherry Orchard by Anton Tsjechov.
Before I Sleep is a continuous performance. Actors lead small groups through the transformed building every few minutes. We have reserved a group departure for the Ivy Circle. The Holland Festival has organized drinks for us starting 7:30 at nearby café Mech. The performance begins at 8:00 and will last one hour. After the performance, we’ll decompress back at Mech with drinks and networking along with Ingrid Janssen, director of external relations for the Holland Festival.
