Spring holiday in De Amsterdamse Winterstal in OBA Oosterdok
Together with Amsterdammers who love knitting, a winter stable has been knitted, based on Amsterdam figures and urban stories.
At the Plein Theater we work with a diverse team of people. And you know what's so nice? In addition to our work here, we, the employees of the Plein Theater, also visit other places, streets and projects. For example, Bibi Trompetter from Studio Brei (and Creative Community Producer at the Plein Theater) has also been working on a new form of the nativity scene in recent months.
Knitting took place every two weeks in the winter stable, for example at the OBA on Javaplein and in the Plein Theater. The Winter Stable was festively opened in OBA Oosterdok on December 21 at 12.30 pm and can be seen in the central hall there until February 24.
During the spring holidays, the Plein Theater programs various stories and performances in the setting of the winter stable in the OBA Oosterdok!
Studio Brei and the OBA have created a Winter Stable together with 50 knitters from Amsterdam, a life-size knitted ode to Amsterdam. The nativity scene as a symbol, a ritual place where you look and where stories are told, is ready for a contemporary update. The winter stable consists of large knitted images based on figures and urban stories submitted by Amsterdam residents. With the help of knitters from various parts of Amsterdam, a winter scene has been created that will form the backdrop for various reading stories in the central hall of OBA Oosterdok during the spring holidays. The stable is soft, colorful, cheerful and stimulates the imagination. Take a seat on the bench in the middle of the stable and be surprised by the programming of the Plein Theater!
