Small Miracles

Small Miracles is a series of interdisciplinary programs that tend to the existing and possible communities of Plein Theater. Taking place across different Saturdays throughout the year, the series brings together diverse artistic practices in extended, durational formats.

Each Saturday is dedicated to a word—or a word-mode—that serves as an invitation to explore the possibilities a theater offers for coming together. With a focus on desirable abundances and communal luxury, the programming of Small Miracles leans toward words aligned with these notions.

#5: Small Miracle 5: Stretch

We welcome you to a gathering dedicated to Stretch: exploring what happens when we extend beyond the boundaries we hold over time. Stretching as expansion and remaining with something long enough for it to change sense and meaning. As autumn draws in, the rhythm of Small Miracles shifts with the season. After the long, extended gatherings of spring and summer, this edition takes on a slower, shorter form, conceived as one continuous programme to experience together from beginning to end.

Through an exhibition and text by Radna Rumping on the floating gardens (Drijvende Tuinen) of Amsterdam Oost, their history and changing role within the city’s landscape and idiosyncrasy; a screening of Shopping Bags, Spirits and Freeway Fetishes: Reflections on Ritual Space by Barbara McCullough, exploring how nine artists based in Los Angeles use habitual actions and spaces to generate "spiritually cathartic experiences" (Third World Reel); a Sparkling Ritual by YuJing Liu; a sonic offering by Phantom Wizard in the theater; and a shared lunch by Monica Tormell (Käket), the gathering moves between bodies, infrastructures, sounds, places and ways of being together, asking what happens when we stretch across an extended time together.

As mentioned above, this is a continuous day programme, we hope to see you early to experience it all: doors open 11:30, the film starts at 12.00, lunch will be served, and the programme finishes around 16:00.
