Start your weekend with Friday Night LIVE! On each third Friday of the month you will be welcome at the Kunsthal for an exciting and inspiring programme infused with a generous dose of art. For each edition a different Rotterdam partner will be running the show. On Friday 21 February Lab-Z will be pulling the strings! The exhibition DIVA serves as the source of inspiration for this evening.
Lab-Z is the creative hub of Theater Zuidplein, offering a stage to (theater) makers with bold and innovative stories. Lab-Z provides space for creators to experiment and share their narratives with a wide audience. Stories that reflect the times we live in and the world around us. At Lab-Z, makers are given complete freedom to express themselves—through spoken word, visuals, music, and everything within and beyond.During Friday Night LIVE, Lab-Z invites everyone to explore their take on Divas. Get ready for an evening of theatrical spectacle and fabulousness, and join us for dancing, performances, and connections at Friday Night LIVE x Lab-Z!

Programme
Taking down Clara F Gorge
High school dramas, cheerleaders, and love stories—tales filled with drama and clichés. But what happens when we look at this genre through a different lens? Theater maker Thyra Jansen, accompanied by two musicians, dives into the world of chick flicks and brings film to the stage. With school bands, breakups, and a generous dose of humor and live music. But what if the story and reality start to blur? Who are you, really, and what role do you play in your own life?
Oh Mothaaaa
During Friday Night LIVE, Femke Lucia pays tribute to the ultimate Diva of all Divas: The Mother (and also daycare moms, foster moms, stepmoms, adoptive moms, biological moms, and godmothers).
Iconic Diva Factory
"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle" – Marilyn Monroe. Discover your inner diva this evening! Just like diva Marilyn Monroe, craft your own iconic one-liner, take the stage, and perform it—completely over the top! With the guidance of Bas, Kevin, and Alexander, your text will be recorded and mixed with music to create a unique masterpiece.
