Wasteless Wednesday – dinner by TBYW
2026-04-15 18:30 - 20:30, 2026-04-22 18:30 - 20:30, 2026-04-29 18:30 - 20:30, 2026-05-27 18:30 - 21:00 (Europe/Amsterdam) | Dokhuis, Plantage Doklaan 8-12, Amsterdam, Netherlands
With surplus food from our partner grocery shops in the Javastraat, that would have gone for waste, our professional cooks and food ambassadors present the most environmentally conscious, healthy, delicious, vegan choice for your get together with friends and the neighbourhood.
In salvaging food and using it for our dinners we reduce food waste, but we also take the opportunity to share our story with you and show you creative ways to deal with your (imperfect) produce, hopefully inspiring you to implement a less wasteful behaviour at home.

19 Vegan Food by JAER Kitchen
20:30 SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXICINEMA
Presented by Jeffrey Badcock
A series of socially engaged movies, screened once a month on Thursdays. Touching on such hot topics as immigration, homelessness, racism, education, radical gender propositions, the pandemic and gentrification, these films not only explore visionary politics, but are also chosen to stir our imagination and creativity. The essence of cinema is the collective experience, and these screenings are aimed at creating intimate communities again in an increasingly hectic and fragmented world.
THE EIGHTH DAY OF THE WEEK 1958
(Ósmy dzień tygodnia)
Directed by Aleksander Ford
83 minutes
In Polish with English subtitles
This is a pretty much unknown, film hardly ever shown outside of its homeland Poland. It takes place in the ruins of Warsaw after World War II, after the entire city was heavily destroyed and crowds of people were left homeless. This flick paints a pretty incredible picture—despite all the poverty, destruction and homelessness, people are not moping around sluggishly depressed—instead they are living it up, despite of the situation. We are tossed into a pressure cooker of burning feelings, a need for passion, a willingness to walk along the edge, taking risks—a generation with nothing to lose. Not enough work, no housing, no money, no future.
So into this haywire scenario we have two outsiders who meet, and despite all the chaos, they are drawn to each other and want to fall in love. But everything is difficult—especially finding a place to have sex. Where can one make love in the ruins of a over-packed city? She is living with her parents and alcoholic brother in a cramped space, his apartment has just collapsed from bombing assaults during the war. Wow, what a world is revealed in this flick… so much restlessness, such deep melancholic moods. Such yearning.
Based on a novel penned by cult-writer Marek Hłasko, this film was banned after it was made, and wouldn’t be seen for another 20 years. During those years of banishment it became a legend in Poland. This is an East-bloc film noir—not a cynical noir about crime or gangsters—but about the need for love, all wrapped in shadowy razor-sharp, crystalline black-and-white cinematography. It’s a haunting time capsule of a world in collapse 70 years ago, but which could also be our future if we aren’t careful. Starring Zbigniew Cybulski and and Sonja Ziemann.

Monthly exhibition Hidden Faces by Viktor Lantosh
About the “Hidden Faces” project
“Hidden Faces” is the result of roughly one year of photographic exploration across Amsterdam and beyond. The series reveals how non-living objects can form expressive “faces” that seem to watch over the city. Viktor hopes attendees will approach the exhibition with curiosity—open to discovering something playful, unexpected, even whimsical in their everyday urban environment: “I want people to step out of their daily routines and look at their city with fresh eyes. The buildings and objects around and look at their city with fresh eyes. The buildings and objects around us hold stories… all we need is a moment of attention to see them.”

Human.VPN/someplace_else (dance graffiti) by Marina Orlova (Try out)
2026-04-23 20:00 - 22:00 | Dokzaal
Immersive hybrid dance and digital performance that connects topics of virtual presence, border politics and psychological dissociation.

VPN is a technology used to misrepresent digital location. Dissociation is a coping mechanism of emotional detachment from reality. Information society makes it easy to feel that we are witnessing events happening elsewhere. It is hard not to become emotionally affected, especially for people with migrant backgrounds and those around them. Doomscrolling blends real and virtual worlds. “Human.VPN” is a metaphor for the mismatch between one’s emotional and physical geolocation.
Two dancers interact with a projection of a digital map that is operated live. By relating their bodies to it, they create physical, digital and fictional trajectories, offering the audience to montage with their own experiences of geopolitical presence/abscence.
This project is a “collective geography self-study” focusing on global interconnectedness and suggesting to use shared geopolitical disorientation and ‘not knowing’ to create togetherness.
The performance is followed by facilitated discussion with the audience.

Marina Orlova (1987) is an independent dance/theatre maker, tech-dramaturg and AI researcher based in Amsterdam. She received education in sociology in Moscow and in experimental choreography at the Amsterdam Academy of Theatre and Dance.
Marina works with topics of human-AI relationships, mental health, migration and border politics. She creates interdisciplinary performances that combine her background in sociology, curiosity for technology, choreographic methodologies and lived knowledge of marginalised communities. Marina mediates between engineering logic and theatrical devices, using technology as metaphor and mirror to societal issues. She works within aesthetics of absurdism, tragicomedy and autofiction.
Marina’s theatre performance “I’m a Robot and I need Therapy” was presented at Frascati Theater in Amsterdam, Veem House for Performance, Flam Festival, Next Level Festival in Dortmund, Worm Rotterdam. Her lecture-performance “Why robots need therapy” was presented Next Nature Digital Wellness Show; Society 5.0 Festival; de Balie; Mesh Festival (Basel); Korzo Theater; Iterations Symposium; and in various academic settings.
Marina’s artistic practice also includes writing, teaching and facilitating a support group for “artists in distress”.

NO KINGS – Minneapolis ICE Resistance komt naar Amsterdam
2026-04-28 20:00 - 22:00 | Dokzaal
De strijd tegen ICE en de opkomst van extreemrechts zijn niet alleen Amerikaanse problemen.
Ook in Europa hebben we te maken met de groeiende macht van extreemrechts die zich organiseert tegen migranten en onze publieke diensten wil ontmantelen. En bijvoorbeeld financiële instellingen (zoals ING en tot voor kort ABP) die investeren in bedrijven die werken voor ICE.
Wat kunnen we leren van de ervaringen in de VS?
📅 Dinsdag 28 april
⏰ 20.00 – 22.00 uur
📍 Plantage Dok, Amsterdam

KB_ is an independent artistic collective based in Amsterdam, focused on nourishing new globalized scenes protagonized by immigrating and queer artists through sonic, visual, and performatic production. Fostering emerging multicultural voices with attention to the margins of the dutch scene and the Global South, KB_ invests efforts on organizing live music events, recordings, and DIY art practices in community.
Lokaal is an Amsterdam based collective for adventurous performing arts. It is born out of the urge to nurture an autonomous community where audiences and artists come together. We are local Amsterdam cultural citizens – artists and artists lovers – searching for inspiring fellow creatives who dare to express themselves honestly, with respect and without boundaries.
