Welcome

We are currently working on our new website. Something may go wrong at times, sorry! We’ll be back very soon with a flashy new website!

ZID Theater is a cultural organization, producer and stage in Amsterdam. ZID produces multidisciplinary performances and the annual international ExploreZ Festival and provides training for makers and performers. Talent development and creating opportunities for up-and-coming talent with a flight history and migration background are essential to ZID’s work. ZID works in Amsterdam, national and international. In addition to the Netherlands, ZID was shown in Europe, South America, the United States, Russia and Morocco. ZID has received several awards for its work. In 2020 Karolina Spaic, director of ZID, was appointed with the Royal Decoration as Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau.
