PROGRAMME 6 DECEMBER

★ Lecture 'Stand up theology' by Tim Vreugdenhil (in Dutch)

When: 6.30-7.00 | 7.30-8.00 | 8.30-9.00 p.m.
Where: inside of the Diaconate building, entrance at Nieuwe Herengracht 18

Tim Vreugdenhil delivers three short stand-up sessions, during which he shares his personal thoughts and feelings about the two artworks on display in the Light Garden. Afterwards, visitors are invited to contribute their own reflections: what do you think, see, feel, hear, and hope? In a cosy twilight atmosphere, you’ll be welcomed with a warm coffee or tea in the Diaconie greenhouse, which serves as a kind of inn for your Amsterdam Light Festival evening.

Tim Vreugdenhil is the city chaplain of Amsterdam at Citykerk Amsterdam. He has transformed the traditional sermon into an art form he calls stand-up theology— theatre for the soul.
