Toneelgroep Amsterdam (TA) is one of the leading ambassadors of Dutch performing art in the Netherlands and abroad, with a core composed of a broad and highly versatile ensemble of world famous actors and a team of leading directors. Since 2001 director Ivo van Hove is leading the company, which has its home base in the Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam, the city’s municipal theatre.
The company is well known, not only in the Netherlands, but all over the world. Performing from New York to Sydney and from China and Korea to Sao Paulo, TA grasps it’s audience. TA brings new interpretations of classic repertoire, by Shakespeare or Ibsen for example, but also adaptations of movies and literature. Tradition and renewal go hand in hand.
Antigone (with Juliete Binoche), The Fountainhead (based on the novel by Ayn Rand), Long day’s journey into night, The glass menagerie, La voix Humaine and Medea are some examples of what’s on show this season.
Are you curious to what Dutch theatre has to offer? TA is organizing a program to help you get to know Dutch theatre, and its history and themes. After the program you will visit ‘Medea’ by TA, written and directed by Australian director Simon Stone.
The program will take place on October 18th, prior to the ‘Medea’ matinee at 4pm.
