5th of May 'Vrijheidsmaaltijd'

On May 5, people across the Netherlands come together for a Vrijheidsmaaltijd. You are warmly invited to join us at Dokhuis. Around the table, you’ll meet new faces, connect through shared stories about freedom and unfreedom, and watch strangers slowly become familiar.

Whoever you are, sharing a meal is one of the simplest ways to get to know each other’s worlds. By listening, sharing, and simply being together, freedom begins to take on meaning.

This year’s theme is making space for freedom. Who has ever made space for you to be free? And for whom can you create that space? Around the table, we’ll explore these questions together, each from our own perspective.

During this evening, we will also be launching our NEIGHBOURHOOD FRIDGE: a new initiative to reduce food waste and share food with the community. The opening will be kicked off with the ‘Survival of Food Waste Show’, a playful and interactive performance by Theater in Context. In this hilarious show, we take on the voracious Food Waste monster. Who will outsmart the monster and manage to satisfy its enormous hunger? Who has the best tricks to prevent food waste and will walk away with tasty prizes?

Join us for a bowl of freedom soup, meet new people, and celebrate freedom together.
