20:00 Soft-Boy Turkish Oil Wrestling
Ozan is a Turkish man who failed at toxic masculinity. This combination of stand-up comedy and performance art is a high-energy crash course in cultural subversion and absurd physical clowning. He performed this show at Fusion Festival and various places in Berlin, and now he wants to bring a violently funny, unapologetically weird celebration of modern masculinity to Amsterdam!
By: Ozan Pekmezci
Length: 15-20 min.
Is this suitable for children? No. 18+ preferred (or at least 16+).

20:30 tea and land stories
Tea and Land Stories, Stories of the cultivation of the cultivator. a middle play (Orta Oyunu, Commedia dell'Arte or what ever ) based on an unwritten script. Kind of a non-musical, it is open to imagination, interactions, and improvisation. “Imagine; One day somebody wanted to drink some tea. they just went to others land, end.” No worries, this is an imaginary story, the only reality is tea. Tea and land is a storytelling performance with melodies and memories while serving some tea to digest stories.
By: kivanc
Length: 30-40 min.
Content Warnings: not a show for nationalist people or who proud of colonial history ( actually this is a show for them to learn about reality <3) . People with migration back ground feel more heavy in this show, im doing my best for my audience to not feel heavy or get trigger.
Is this suitable for children? Yes.

21:00 Sesten Sese: A Curated Evening of Shared Voices
This evening brings together three musical practices connected through voice, community, and collective memory. Opening with the intimate songwriting of Anllel Maria and Doğa Ak, followed by the mother–child musical practice of Dilden Dile, and concluding with the collective polyphony of Queer Choir Amsterdam, the programme moves between queer community, Anatolian folk traditions, diasporic memory, couragous worlds and intergenerational exchange. Together, these performances invite audiences to experience singing as a living practice of gathering, listening, and carrying stories forward. Doğa and Allel Doğa Ak and Anllel Maria are a kuir duo of songwriters and singers from Turkey and Ecuador, currently based in the Netherlands. Blending their voices through vulnerable songwriting, they compose in English, Spanish, and Turkish.
Their songs explore intimacy, brave other worlds, and shared futures, inviting audiences to tune in, to themselves, to one another, and to the worlds that can be imagined together. Opening the evening, their performance offers a gentle invitation into the programme. Queer Choir Amsterdam Queer Choir Amsterdam is an artistic initiative and a safer space where various queer and trans identities and voices are celebrated and heard. The choir performs original compositions, written by its members and arranged by conductor Vera Morais, in which soundscapes, improvisation and audience participation often play an important role. The choir's songs are rooted in both politics and introspection and allow for authentic forms of self-expression. During rehearsals and performances, choir members give voice to stories they want to share and to ideas about the futures they wish to imagine together. By bringing together many different voices, the choir not only creates new harmonies, but also celebrates the diversity and expressive potential of the human voice.
For this evening, Queer Choir Amsterdam will perform a selection of original repertoire, moving between playful, joyful songs and works rooted in solidarity, resistance, care, and collective imagination.
Dilden Dile is a three year old practicing band rooted in singing, listening, and making music together. It exploresinheritance, memory, language, belonging, and the ways traditions continue to transform through the people who carry them.
Over three years of singing and playing together, Meli, Tuncay and Aydin, usually accompanied by Mürset (Meli’smother) have come to understand music as a language beyond words. Rooted in Anatolian folk traditions, particularly those of the Alevi tradition, while embracing the rich legacy of politically engaged songwriting from Turkey and Kurdistan, Dilden Dile movesthrough the musical worlds of artists including Kazım Koyuncu, Selda Bağcan, Âşık Mahzuni Şerif, Âşık Veysel, and Ahmet Kaya, with a particular affinity for the musical landscapes of the Black Sea (Karadeniz).
At its heart, Dilden Dile is an invitation to gather around songs that have travelled across generations and regions.Turkish-speaking audiences are especially invited to sing along, remember, and recognize melodies that may already live within them. In this shared act of listening and singing, the songs return to what they have always been: living traditions, shared, transformed,and passed from voice to voice.

School Without Masters - Book Club
Joe's Garage, Sunday, September 20 at 05:30 PM GMT+2
Every Sunday, 18:00 - 20:00, we meet up and's talk about the various topics we wanna talk, learn and develop awareness about. Right now, we're meeting at Joe's, a squatted location.
The doors open at 17:30 and we start at 18:00.
Today we'll be talking about Kim Stanley Robinson's The Ministry of the Future (the entire book). It's a speculative fiction novel about climate change and humanity's response to it. Painfully liberal in its politics, but uncompromisingly realistic about climate change. Everyone is welcome, even if you have not read the book.
School Without Masters is an anarchist initiative to learn horizontally. None of us are the teachers or experts, we are all teaching each other. We currently hold our events in Joe's Garage, a squatted place.
We hope to see you there!

Kraakspreekuur Oost
Joe's Garage, Tuesday, September 15 at 07:00 PM GMT+2
Do you think it is unreasonable that your fundamental right to safe shelter is not taken into account? Are you angry because speculators are taking advantage of the housing shortage and the government is just pretending that it doesn't care? Despite the fact that squatting is forbidden in the Netherlands, it still continues. For people who actively act for the right to housing, mutual aid is self-evident. Given the reason for squatting, namely the social problem of housing shortage, squatters generally act as a kind of union.
When preparing a squatting action, during the squatting action itself and when you are inside the squat, there is always advice and support from other squatters. People are happy to stand by you almost unconditionally, but you have to take the initiative yourself and you have to make the final choices yourself. In practice, this means that you have to know how to find an empty house yourself, find out for yourself why and how long it has been vacant, put together your own group and ultimately live there yourself. Of course, you can count on practical help as long as you make a clear plan and coordinate its implementation.
If this approach seems suitable to you to do something about your own housing shortage and the housing shortage in general, come along to the squatting consultancy hour every Tuesday in Joe's Garage.
Every tuesday: 19.00 – 20.30 Kraakspreekuur Oost
