This year, Wereldmuseum Leiden teamed up with Committee June 30/July 1 Leiden and Songs of Freedom to bring you a powerful festival that creates connections and brings together music and stories from the past and the present.
After the memorial event in Leiden on June 30, which is intended as a moment for reflection and remembrance, the July 5 festival celebrates freedom with music, dance, food, and fascinating stories.
Visitors can enjoy an impressive choir, a performance by the Surinamese singer Kenny B, and an exciting program for young and old.
What to expect
Just like any other great cultural event, the Keti Koti Festival is packed with activities. Here’s a quick peek of what you can look forward to:

🌟 Koto on a catwalk: Enjoy a fashion show celebrating Surinamese style and identity with traditional kotos (Surinamese clothing) as well as their modern interpretations.
🤫 The secret of the angisa: Find out what the folding techniques of the angisa, a traditional Surinamese headscarf, tell us about the mood, marital status, or intentions of the woman who wears it.
🐚 Make your own kauri shell jewellery: Get crafty with kauri shells which were used as a payment method in the 17th and 18th century and brought to the Netherlands from its former colonies by the East India Company.
🌍 Colonial heritage tour: Reflect on the implications of slavery, past and present, on a special free museum tour.

Let this unique physical performance about desire and betrayal capture your imagination
2025-11-28 - 2025-11-29 | DeLaMar Theater, Marnixstraat 402, Amsterdam, 1017 PL, Netherlands
How much remains hidden between lovers and friends? And what responsibility do you take for your own actions?
On November 28 and 29, DeLaMar in Amsterdam invites you to enjoy a poetic physical performance titled We Don’t Live Here Anymore that will challenge your reasoning as well as your imagination.
Follow the story of two couples, seemingly closely connected, as they become caught up in a web of desires, guilt, and betrayal.
Is it pure passion, an escape from the mundane, or a deep emptiness that drives them? Secrets are whispered and the truth is twisted.

Why is this performance unique?
In the show, we hear the characters’ dialogues as voice-overs in English, while their emotional lives are visualised by the performers’ bodies in Ahlbom’s unique language of movement.
What discomfort can arise when choices made in the past start to feel restrictive?
Instead of contenting themselves with what is, the characters search for what could be, reeling the spectator and allowing him to feel the pain, doubts, and strength of lovers in transformation.
Where and when can I see the show?
🗓️ When: November 28 and 29, 8 PM
📍 Where: DeLaMar, Marnixstraat 402, 1017 PL Amsterdam
💸 Ticket price: €19.50 to €32.50

In addition to the gripping plot, the story comes alive through:
📻 Music designed to transport you back to the 80s
🤣 Outrageous slapstick that’ll have you laughing out loud
✨ Dazzling special effects that’d make IMAX jealous
Oké, I’m sold! Where and when?
🗓️ When: March 5 to April 5, 2026 (evening shows and weekend matinees available)📍 Where: DeLaMar Theater, Marnixstraat 402, 1017 PL Amsterdam💸 Ticket price: €22.50 – €49.50, depending on seat category
