Sonic Acts is produced in association with:
Paradiso
Paradiso’s mission is to offer more than live music, always explore the borders of pop culture and be a podium for non-musical initiatives and projects. Sometimes you’ll see a fashion show, a movie, a modern classical ensemble or a science lecture about belief systems or quantum information. Throughout the years Paradiso has developed regularly returning projects and have formed foundations to develop events in and outside Paradiso and have linked external cultural organisations closely to the organisation.
STEIM

de Balie
De Balie is a platform for a divers audience and all sorts of media. It is located at the Leidseplein in Amsterdam in the former Court of Law. A daily offering of debates, seminars, filmscreenings and theaterperformances all focusing on social, cultural and political issues is hosted in one of our three spaces. Different topics are approached and discussed from varying perspectives, where perspective can spring either from form (cinema, theatre, new media) or content (political, cultural, social). De Balie hosts around 450 programs a year. This, supported by our vibrant café-restaurant, creates a perfect place for odd encounters, artistic initiatives and honest engagement.
