Quartz! #3

IDAHOTIQZ and Arti et Amicitiae present a special new episode of Quartz on Feb 21st, as part of Amsterdam 750!

This time the program is filled with special guests: at the talk show table we welcome Gerrie van der Klei, who of course also performs, Max Put, and Molly Strychnine, for years an icon as live singing entertainer. Various artists will perform, and Martijn Akkerman, known from the TV program 'Between Art and Kitsch,' shares a special story with us about pearls through the ages. The thread this evening is emancipation within and with the LGBTQI+ community through dialogue and art, especially in the context of Amsterdam 750.

Arti et Amicitiae and IDAHOTIQZ
On May 17, the day homosexuality was removed as a disease in 1990, IDAHOT, the international day against homo and transphobia, was born. IDAHOTIQZ's mission is to artfully promote a sense of community by and with the Queer community. Since 2024, it has been organizing - together with Arti et Amicitiae - Quartz! A fusion of dinner, talk show, live entertainment and visual art. Serious and touching, fraternizing and festive moments alternate in an evening-long program in all the colors of the rainbow. 

Program
The evening starts at 7 p.m. with a dinner. The first performances will already start during this dinner. Starting at 8 p.m., you will be taken through a dazzling fusion of a talk show and a musical and theatrical program. Your hosts of the evening, Don and Pia, will take you through fascinating conversations with their guests in their talk show. The program will continue to be lavishly framed by special artists.

Bar
After the program, there will be an opportunity for further conversation over drinks until midnight.
