JULIDANS EXTENDED

During the festival, you will encounter the Julidans choreographers everywhere in town. In Podium Mozaiek, Meervaart, W139 and Frascati, we present dance by idiosyncratic choreographers from home and abroad. But we look beyond regular stages - you will also see performances in the Stedelijk Museum, the Sloterpark swimming pool or hidden in underground cellars throughout the city. Will you join us on a discovery trip?
