OPEN CALL #1

Amarte and A Tale of A Tub are joining forces this autumn to organise a residency for curators and curating artists based in the Netherlands. The aim is to support curators during the development phase of a project or research, rather than working toward an explicit final result. This will take place in a way that both inhabits and activates the spaces of the former wash and bathhouse where A Tale of A Tub is located. Are you a curator in need of a working period in an inspiring environment? Apply now!

OPEN CALL #2

Noorderzon, Amarte, and pop venue Simplon are offering creators from Northern Netherlands the opportunity to shape three nights during Noorderzon 2026. We are looking for experimentation: concepts at the intersection of music and other art disciplines, that belong after sunset and are anything but obvious. Do you have an idea that fits the after-dark hours? Then this open call is for you!

Theater de Richel, Amsterdam

GEVAARLIJK SPEL

Rory de Groot
In the performance series GEVAARLIJK SPEL, theatre maker and former professional footballer Rory de Groot, in collaboration with Theater de Richel, takes the audience on a compelling exploration of the FIFA World Cup as a political and historical phenomenon. Together with sports historian Jurryt van de Vooren, Rory delves into nearly a century of World Cup history, from 1930 to 2026.These performances do not focus on facts, but instead reveal the deeper layers: how football is inextricably linked to power, propaganda, identity, and political struggle. Each show serves as a theatrical pre-show to a World Cup match being played that same evening. After the performance, the audience has the opportunity to watch the match together with Rory on a big screen in the theatre.

The Amarte Foundation was founded by a number of individuals and their families who share a deep love for the arts. They wish to support the development of creatives and talent in arts and culture by providing financial means and where possible coaching, knowledge and experience. Artists who are active in the cultural sectors of the Netherlands or the ABC and SSS islands (the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands) can apply to Amarte for the support of projects in the field of theatre, film, music, visual arts and literature, as well as interdisciplinary projects.
