The Summer Sacrifice

De Warme Winkel, Touki Delphine & Asko|Schönberg in Amsterdamse Bostheater

25 Jun — 10 Aug

This summer, it’s going to happen: the car is going down. It has brought us a lot, individual freedom, adventure, convenience, and eroticism, but its time has come. It has to face its end.

NB English surtitles every Tuesday and Wednesday starting 17 July!

Het Zomeroffer (The Summer Sacrifice) is based on the famous The Rite of Spring (Le sacre du printemps) by Igor Stravinsky. Where in the original ballet a young woman is sacrificed, in our version, every evening for 35 summer evenings, the four-wheeler of someone from the audience will die. Someone who is ready to take a step back to let the earth catch its breath. Those who want to survive must make sacrifices. And a sacrifice is never painless…

In a grand music theater spectacle where theater, music, singing, and dance merge into a contemporary yet timeless ritual, our beloved car meets its end.

If you are intrigued to give up your car, and thus your mobility, because you are convinced like De Warme Winkel that the earth needs moral donors, are there still a few evenings available, sign up here and receive twenty free tickets!

See you this summer at the Amsterdamse Bostheater. A 12-minute bike ride from Amsterdam Zuid station.
