In this Winter Solstice season we invite you to the Plantage Dok to gather around the fire and celebrate the human voice. From furious growling, through storytelling, to collective, harmonious soundscapes, we will enjoy the wide range of possibilities of our voices. Let’s get together to leave the darkest nights of the year behind us and celebrate that the sunlight will return.

Writer and artist Jacob Dwyer (UK) will present his new live audio drama, combining storytelling and sound art. In the performance GRUNT, by Dutch-Iranian performance maker and sociologist Diane Mahín, we will meet a woman who communicates solely through growling: Raw, physical, and drenched in sound. We will also get a chance to use our own voices in the Anti-Choir workshopby Wouter Mol: a playful, participatory, community encounter for improvisation, open to everyone regardless of previous experiences, age and skill set. A communal, unpredictable sound machine. And lastly, the wonderful Mola Sylla with treat us to a solo set. Capable of improvising freely with his incredible voice, he accompanies himself on traditional African instruments: kongoma / m’bira, xalam and flutes.

The Plantage Doklaan is a building located in the centre of Amsterdam that has served many functions in its life. It has been a church, a printing business and a school. In 1998 the building was squatted by a group of 10 people who themselves had much experience with squatting and collective awareness in Amsterdam. In 2000 the group bought and renovated the building with government assistance thus securing its future. The Plantage Dok is very much a collective project. It is a building that is run by the people who work there along lines of cooperation and equality. Everybody involved share the responsibility and are encouraged to bring forth their own initiatives. These days some 30 people are present in the building. They are concerned in many fields of activity. There are architects, visual artists, actors, political activists, crafts people, musicians and designers.
