Major theatre<br />
Toneelgroep Amsterdam<br />
for major audiences<br />
Toneelgroep Amsterdam is the largest subsidized theatre company in the Netherlands. They are<br />
resident at the Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam, from where they put on at least six large-scale<br />
productions and several re-runs of successful performances per season. Tradition and innovation<br />
go hand-in-hand at Toneelgroep Amsterdam, with adaptations of classics, new repertoire and<br />
cross-over productions in which the company searches for a new theatre language through a<br />
combination of drama, music and audiovisual art. Toneelgroep Amsterdam Works together with<br />
national and international theatre-makers and partners. Guest directors are regularly invited<br />
from the Netherlands and abroad.<br />
International<br />
For the last few years, Toneelgroep Amsterdam has been working actively with international<br />
partners and guest directors including Krzysztof Warlikowski and Christoph Marthaler, and<br />
performing in front of foreign audiences. They plan to continue along this path in the future, and<br />
even extend their international focus. In the ’07/’08 season, Romeinse Tragedies/Roman Tragedies<br />
was a guest performance at the Wiener Festwochen, <strong>Theater</strong>formen and Le Festival D’Avignon.<br />
An American tour has been planned for the ’08/’09 season: the performance Opening Night<br />
will be performed at BAM (New York) and UCLA (Los Angeles) and Rouw Siert Electra/Mourning<br />
becomes Electra at the O’Neill festival (Chicago). A co-production with the German festival<br />
Ruhrtriennale is in the pipeline; an adaptation of the film Rocco e i suoi fratelli/Rocco and His<br />
Brothers by Luchino Visconti, directed by Ivo van Hove. Preparations for collaboration with the<br />
California Institute of the Arts are in full swing and the partnership with Hamburger Schauspielhaus<br />
will be continued.<br />
