MUSIC - The Millennium Jazz Orchestra, led by composer, arranger, and bandleader Joan Reinders, performs every two months at MIMIK with a surprising selection of standards and originals.

MUSIC - Ripping saxophone wails, gritty, deep-grooving Hammond organ, and back beats that make sitting still almost impossible. The Preacher Men is one of the most well-known Jazz/Blues formations in the Netherlands. In 2019, they won the Edison Public Award. In a surprising program with new music, they tell musical stories about the blues and introduce an instrument with particularly expressive possibilities: the Blueshorn.
Saturday - March 1st
PHYSICAL THEATRE - Fasten your seatbelt, there’s no estimated time of arrival. Expect a surreal physical performance about being stuck in the "in-between." The feeling of an eternal transit zone at an airport where no plane ever arrives or departs. While you wait for help, with your suitcase in hand, your body starts to tremble as if there's an earthquake inside you. No help is on the way. You’re completely on your own. Advice? Enjoy it, because there's still a long way to go.
Thursday - March 6th
DANCE | It’s time to let go of all the balls. BALLEN LOS is an ode to femininity and the power of vulnerability. Women are expected to balance motherhood, career, beauty, and more— it's never good enough. We strive for success while juggling countless responsibilities, convinced that failure isn’t an option. But how long can we keep this up? What happens when we stop meeting expectations and start breaking free? This dance performance features four powerful women and the serene voice of Oukje den Hollander.
