WorldPride month x Cinemien: Woman Of...
Line up: Regie: Malgorzata Szumowska, Michal Englert

Woman of...

Tegen de achtergrond van de Poolse transformatie van communisme naar kapitalisme, beslaat WOMAN OF… 45 jaar uit het leven van Aniela Wesoly. Aniela woont al meer dan de helft van haar volwassen leven als man in een Pools provinciestadje. De reis naar persoonlijke vrijheid als trans vrouw onthult moeilijkheden in het huwelijk en het ouderschap, gespannen familierelaties en gecompliceerde houdingen in haar omgeving, die haar constant in onmogelijke situaties plaatsen. Welke keuzes zal Aniela moeten maken? Zal zij bereid zijn alles op te offeren om te worden wie ze werkelijk is?

July 2026: WorldPride Month at Plein Theater

Plein Theater celebrates queerness with a bold and motley programme full of theatre, film, drag, and performance !

Throughout the year, but especially during the month of July, Plein Theater gives unfiltered visibility to film and emerging artists engaging with queer themes. This year in the spirit of the extraordinary WorldPride Amsterdam, which theme UNITY stands for solidarity, connection, and a shared fight for equality.

An important part of the programme originates from an open call as part of our co-creation programme, where shared ownership and participation are key. Ten emerging and talented artists present work that engages with queer perspectives, identity, the body, freedom, and the many ways in which we can celebrate ourselves and each other.

We believe that a theater is not only a stage, but also a meeting center where artists, local residents, communities, and audiences collectively shape what is presented. Our co-creation programme can be recognised by the #GetInvolved label.

From 15th to 19th of July we screen ten queer films by the feminist film collective Cinemien! For decades, Cinemien has been a pioneer in showcasing powerful women’s stories, LGBTQIA+ perspectives, and groundbreaking documentaries.

We also Bring Drag Back to the Theatre with a special WorldPride edition featuring the irresistible drag queen Sederginne. And last but not least, together with queer.red and Lesbique, we explore the boundaries of queer erotique during Darkroom on Stage!
