ZID Theatre presents its latest group production IN BRAND during ExploreZ festival 2026 (28 May to 7 June) in Amsterdam. The performance will premiere during the festival's opening on 28 May at Podium Moza\u00efek.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

IN FIRE<\/strong> is an explosive and immersive performance by ZID Theatre, bringing together music, dance and theatre in an intense live experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directed by artistic director and director Karolina Spai\u0107, you will see a diverse group of performers trying to hold their own in a world under pressure. They run, collide, dream and fight - looking for a way out, for hope, for something to keep believing in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by Albert Camus and his ideas on \u2018creating dangerously\u2019 let IN FIRE<\/strong> see how imagination can be a powerful engine in times of crisis - and asks the question: what is the artist's role in it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything is burning. What remains? That which continues to burn within us
<\/strong>When reality becomes too heavy we seek solace in fantasy, but is that a way of escape, or just the beginning of change?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With powerful visuals, rousing music and intense acting, it takes IN FIRE<\/strong> takes you into a ritual of anger and hope. A performance for anyone who feels things should be different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IN FIRE<\/strong> is interdisciplinary theatre that chafes, enters and does not let go. Expect a physical, visual and energetic performance that wants to touch and shake up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The permanent cast of ZID, consisting of a diverse and international group of performers, presents this performance as the final part of the trilogy after the earlier parts WATER<\/em> (2024) and SOURCE<\/em> (2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In it, it becomes clear that climate issues cannot be separated from social and political movements.
