“SIKSA’s Grande Donna Freiheit and Her Spiders from the Squat is the most insignificant and unnecessary story ever told.” – Forbes Magazine (this quote is fake)
SIKSA brings an explosive mix of choreography, text, and music in a raw performance that breathes resistance. Chaos, humor, and anarchy come together in a show you can’t ignore. The lyrics are in Polish, but the message is universal: a battle cry against a world that is fragmenting more and more.
Grande Donna Freiheit is a punk manifesto—a call for solidarity and rebellion. At a time when free spaces are disappearing, rent prices are rising, and independent clubs are struggling, SIKSA refuses to accept the inevitable. They push on, record again, and remain as brutal and disobedient as ever. Because punk is not dead—it’s your band, your voice, your resistance.
"SIKSA offer a powerful, radical leftist, and feminist voice that has shaken the Polish underground scene with its raw message of vulnerability and fierce defiance."

Renaissance
WAUHAUS
The Finnish arts collective WAUHAUS makes its long-awaited Dutch debut at SPRING with Renaissance, a ritual performance that merges dance, song, light, and installation into a dreamlike experience. Mythical bodies come to life, boundaries blur, and fantasy takes on a physical form. Renaissance explores how the body can renew and transform itself in a world where imagination is fading. The audience is invited to surrender to wonder, change, and play—an ode to the power of dreaming and the unknown.
METCH
Ivo Dimchev
METCH brings together all facets of the boundary-pushing Ivo Dimchev: singing, dancing, painting (and auctioning), and provoking thought. A concert-exhibition, an auction, an obsessive dialogue with the audience. Expect songs, but also a raw, unpredictable clash with theatre, dance, politics, and contemporary art. One night, one unique encounter.
Teenage Songbook of Love and Sex
Ásrún Magnúsdóttir & Alex Roberts
A melodic ode to budding love and sex, filled with joy and passion, but also pain and fear. Utrecht is the next stop for Teenage Songbook of Love and Sex, a unique musical performance featuring young performers from Reykjavik. Together with local talent and enriched with lyrics and songs written by young people from Utrecht, this results in a one-time-only performance on the grand stage of Stadsschouwburg Utrecht. Teenage Songbook of Love and Sex is created by teenagers, about teenagers, but for everyone.
