Welcome to the Holland Festival
The 2023 Holland Festival, the leading international performing arts festival founded in 1947, will take place in Amsterdam from 1 June through 1 July. Artists from all over the world will show artistic innovation and experimentation in ground-breaking pieces performed nowhere else in the Netherlands: from theatre, dance, music and musical theatre to multidisciplinary forms and cross-overs with visual art, photography and film.

The Elders
The Elders
At the initiative of associate artist ANOHNI, a number of performances during this festival edition begin with a small intervention in the form of a poem, personal reflection or dialogue, brought by an 'elder.' These 'elders' are older, and well-respected individuals from Dutch society who, in a casual, self-chosen way, hope to deepen the bond between artist and audience, make the audience aware of their responsibility to the artist, validate the urgency of the performance, and place all in attendance in the here and now of a unique, shared moment.

Interviews with creators
Interviews with creators
Many creators are interviewed to hear what motivates them and to explain their performances in more detail. For us, these are all interesting stories that are worth reading, even if you are not attending the performance.
