WorldPride month: A Dadaist Variety Show
Line up: Zena Wood

A Dadaist Variety Show

Dadaism was first described to me as different musicians, performers and poets all performing at the same time in the same room. War disillusionment was the premise, non logic was the conclusion.

A Dadaist Variety Show is a feeling directed and produced by Zena Wood, with original music composed by Wood and Waters. Paired together with bingo - the most illogical and logical bar pastime, you will witness on stage some of Amsterdam's resident comedians, magicians and musicians (say that three times fast). The main act will involve a washing machine and your bingo cards will be based on the variety acts. It's that simple. This is a show for groups of friends, solo theatergoers, and people tired of bureaucracy. So - everyone, really.

Starring main acts by Cené Hale, Elliot Morgan and Zena Wood. A Space Weather Girl production

July 2026: WorldPride Month at Plein Theater

Plein Theater celebrates queerness with a bold and motley programme full of theatre, film, drag, and performance that challenges, questions, and defies the norm!

Throughout the year, but especially during the month of July, Plein Theater gives unfiltered visibility to film and emerging artists engaging with queer themes. This year in the spirit of the extraordinary WorldPride Amsterdam, which theme UNITY stands for solidarity, connection, and a shared struggle for equality.

An important part of the programme originates from an open call as part of our co-creation programme, where shared ownership and participation are key. Ten emerging and talented artists present work that engages with queer perspectives, identity, the body, freedom, and the many ways in which we can celebrate ourselves and each other.

We believe that a theater is not only a stage, but also a meeting center where artists, local residents, communities, and audiences collectively shape what is presented. Our co-creation programme can be recognised by the #GetInvolved label.

From 15th to 19th of July we screen ten queer films by the feminist film collective Cinemien! For decades, Cinemien has been a pioneer in showcasing powerful women’s stories, LGBTQIA+ perspectives, and groundbreaking documentaries.

We also Bring Drag Back to the Theatre with a special WorldPride edition featuring the irresistible drag queen Sederginne. And last but not least, together with queer.red and Lesbique, we explore the boundaries of queer erotique during Darkroom on Stage!
