WorldPride month x Cinemien: The Activist

The Activist Wanneer zijn vriend, een gepassioneerde mensenrechtenactivist, op brute wijze wordt vermoord, besluit de jonge Andrius zich undercover aan te sluiten bij een radicale neonazigroep. Terwijl hij dieper in hun gewelddadige wereld verstrikt raakt, vervaagt de grens tussen rechtvaardigheid en wraak. Zijn missie dreigt hem uiteindelijk zelf te verwoesten. The Activist vormt samen met The Lawyer (2020) en The Writer (2023) een trilogie over queer relaties binnen politieke spanningsvelden. De hoofdrollen zijn voor Robertas Petraitis (bekend van The Southern Chronicles, de Litouwse Oscarinzending voor 2026), Vaslov Goom (Masters of the Air, Cry Wolf) en Teklè Baro.

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!
