Client Review
I needed a videograph for our company video and i contacted few different studios. White hole offered me the best price and after i worked with them i can say the results were amazing. I didnt expect that good performance, everything went down really easy as well. Good communication, they understood our assignment very well, and the shots turned better than we expect. 10/10! Would recommend them🙌

🎸 19:00 – 20:30 | Live Music | Soul Jam with @saleha007
Let yourself be carried away by a warm acoustic set featuring original songs, musical influences from different cultures, and space for spontaneous improvisation.
Saleha Q is a travelling musician who brings influences from the cultures, landscapes, and communities she encounters into her uplifting acoustic sound.
Raised with the colourful influence of Bollywood, she has expressed herself through dance, acting, painting, and music. In recent years, her focus has increasingly shifted towards songwriting with her five-string ukulele, guitar, and voice.
During Soul Jam with Saleha Q, original songs, personal stories, and other musical influences come together in a live acoustic performance that moves between prepared material and moments created spontaneously in the room.
During an interactive part of the evening, the audience will also be invited to become part of the music through rhythm, sound, voice, and shared improvisation.

🧉 20:30 – 23:00 | Drinking Maté | Exchange of Inspiration
Slow down and close the evening together with maté, conversations, and spontaneous encounters.
The formal programme gradually gives way to an open social space where visitors, artists, and participants can meet, reflect, and share what they experienced throughout the day.
Perhaps a workshop sparked an idea that deserves to grow. Perhaps a movement, story, or song opened a conversation that continues later in the evening. This is the space to exchange thoughts, ask questions, meet the artists behind the programme, or simply listen.
The shared ritual of preparing, drinking, and passing maté slows down the rhythm of the night and invites people to remain present with one another.
An open space for reflection, connection, new stories, and collaborations that may emerge naturally.

🎬 19:00 – 19:30 | Film | Draw Me a Homeland | @nourifilm
The logline:
This documentary portrays Fatime, Sha’am, and Anas as they navigate their integration journey. It explores their search for identity in a foreign land and the feeling of being seen not as a person but as a file. Through three stages; denial, waiting, and rooting, they ask: can you truly take root elsewhere when the ground seems to reject you?
The statement:
How can roots that have been violently uprooted take hold again in foreign soil?
How can you feel at home in a new country when the memory of your first encounter still aches?
And how can you grow new roots in a land that took part in the uprooting of your own?
Draw Me a Homeland takes you aboard a “lucky” refugee boat that arrives on the shores of European integration programs, a film about roots longing for soil to embrace them. Will they ever find it? Or is their longing, as refugees in this country, as fragile and distant as a dream?
From the denial of what happened to you, to the moment when the numbness begins to fade, you’re left waiting, surrounded by a sea of questions, endless paperwork, and a constant sense of not yet.
This film explores that no man’s land in between: not here, not there. The struggle to take root in new ground while the old soil still pulls you back and the new one keeps spitting you out. Integration often feels like something placed entirely on you: being reborn in a system where the pointing fingers hold the power to make you feel at home, yet choose not to.

@matenacht
We started with a simple idea…
a place to meet.
Then something shifted.
People arrived,
stories crossed,
music filled the space.
Strangers became familiar.
Moments became memories.
And before we knew it…
the night softened back into silence.
This was Maté Nacht.
And you were part of it.
بلشنا بفكرة بسيطة…
مكان نلتقي فيه.
وبعدين صار شي…
الناس إجت،
القصص تلاقت،
والموسيقى ملت المكان.
الغريب صار مألوف…
واللحظات صارت ذكريات.
وقبل ما نحس…
رجع الليل لهدوءه.
هاي كانت Maté Nacht
وإنت كنت جزء منها 🤍
We begonnen met een simpel idee…
een plek om samen te komen.
Toen veranderde er iets.
Mensen kwamen binnen,
verhalen kruisten elkaar,
muziek vulde de ruimte.
Vreemden werden vertrouwd.
Momenten werden herinneringen.
En voor we het wisten…
keerde de nacht terug naar stilte.
Dit was Maté Nacht.
En jij maakte er deel van uit.

Film Screening at @matenacht 🎬
Between Vodka and Stroopwafel
by @ali_taifour
Not just a film…
a state of mind 😌
A story between two worlds
between what we feel and what we show.
Small details growing into something strange
dark, subtle, and quietly humorous.
A film about alienation
not just from a place… but from within.
If you were there… you felt it.
مو بس فيلم…
كان حالة 😌
قصة بين عالمين
بين شو بنحس… وشو منبيّن.
تفاصيل صغيرة عم تكبر
وتحوّل العادي لشي غريب شوي… ومضحك بطريقة سودا.
فيلم عن الغربة
بس مو بس عن المكان… عن الإحساس.
واللي حضر… بيعرف.
Niet zomaar een film…
een gevoel 😌
Een verhaal tussen twee werelden
tussen wat we voelen en wat we laten zien.
Kleine details die groeien tot iets vreemds
donker, subtiel en licht humoristisch.
Een film over vervreemding
niet alleen van een plek… maar van binnenuit.
Wie erbij was… voelde het.

@josephshami @d.j.nett0 @salim_zah
Not just a concert…
a journey 😌
Arabic roots with a contemporary sound
moving between emotion, energy, and memory.
Moments of stillness… then waves of sound
felt together.
Music you don’t just hear
you live it.
مو حفلة عادية…
كانت رحلة 😌
نغَم عربي بروح جديدة
بين إحساس، طاقة، وذكريات عم ترجع بطريقة مختلفة.
لحظات هدوء… بعدها انفجار موسيقي
والكل عم يعيشها سوا.
هيك بتكون الموسيقى
مو بس تنسمع… تنعاش.
Geen gewoon concert…
een reis 😌
Arabische roots met een hedendaags geluid
tussen gevoel, energie en herinnering.
Stille momenten… gevolgd door explosies van klank
samen beleefd.
Muziek die je niet alleen hoort
maar echt ervaart.

DJ Set at @matenacht 🎧
Arabic Melodic Techno by @eltothedj
Familiar melodies…
with a beat that keeps you moving
Arabic sounds blended into Afro House and Melodic Techno
a journey between nostalgia and fresh energy.
Every drop had meaning
every transition took you somewhere else.
مزيج بين نغمة بتعرفها…
ونغمة ما بيخليك توقف
نغَم عربي داخل بجو Afro House وMelodic Techno
رحلة بين نوستالجيا وطاقة جديدة.
كل drop إلو طعمة
وكل انتقال كان عم ياخدك لمحل تاني.
Bekende melodieën…
met een beat die je laat bewegen
Arabische klanken gemixt met Afro House en Melodic Techno
een reis tussen nostalgie en nieuwe energie.
Elke drop had betekenis
elke overgang nam je ergens anders mee naartoe.

Arabic Book Corner at @matenacht 📚
with @binyanbooks
More than books…
stories, language, and a sense of home.
From literature to children’s books
there was something for everyone.
A quiet corner in the middle of it all
holding a whole world inside.
مو بس كتب…
كان في قصص، لغة، وحنين صغير بين الصفحات.
من أدب لكتب أطفال…
وكل حدا كان عم يلاقي الشي القريب منه
زاوية هادية بنص كل هالطاقة
بس فيها عالم كامل لحاله.
Meer dan alleen boeken…
verhalen, taal en een gevoel van thuis.
Van literatuur tot kinderboeken
er was voor iedereen iets te vinden.
Een rustige plek in het midden van alles
met een hele wereld erin.

@mixedperformancearts Workshop at @matenacht 🌀 by @da.mir.b
No rules…
not even clear boundaries
Body, sound, movement, music
all blending into one.
People exploring, reacting, creating in the moment
without thinking about what’s “right”.
And then it turned into a jam…
everything spontaneous, raw, and alive.
No experience needed
just show up 😉
ما كان في قواعد…
ولا حتى حدود واضحة
جسد، صوت، حركة، موسيقى…
وكل شي عم يندمج سوا بدون ما حدا يفكر “شو الصح”.
ناس عم تجرب، عم تتحرك، عم تطلع شي من جوّا
وكل لحظة كانت عم تولد لحظة جديدة.
وبعدين؟
كل هاد تحوّل لجلسة jam…
كل شي صار عفوي، حي، وبهاللحظة بالذات.
ما بدك خبرة…
بس بدك تكون موجود 😉
Geen regels…
zelfs geen duidelijke grenzen
Lichaam, geluid, beweging, muziek
alles liep in elkaar over.
Mensen die experimenteren, reageren en creëren in het moment
zonder na te denken over wat “juist” is.
Daarna ging het over in een jam
spontaan, rauw en levend.
Geen ervaring nodig
gewoon komen 😉

“Ontmoeting van Woorden” at Maté Nacht 📚
by Mustafa Al-Ramadan
It wasn’t just about words…
it was about being heard.
People spoke, others listened
and something real started to happen.
Stories, silence, emotions in between
all finding their way out.
Everyone carries a story…
and here, some finally had space to be told.
What happened? It was real 😌
and this is only the beginning.
مو بس حكي…
كان في ناس عم تحكي وناس عم تسمع… ولأول مرة يمكن حدا عم ينسمع عنجد.
قصص، لحظات صمت، وكلمات طالعة من جوّا
كل واحد إلو حكاية…
وهون، في حكايات أخدت وقتها.
واللي صار؟ كان حقيقي
والجايات… لساتها بالطريق.
Het ging niet alleen om woorden…
maar om echt gehoord worden.
Mensen spraken, anderen luisterden
en er ontstond iets echts.
Verhalen, stiltes, emoties ertussenin
die eindelijk ruimte kregen.
Iedereen draagt een verhaal…
en hier mochten sommige eindelijk verteld worden.
Wat hier gebeurde? Dat was echt 😌
en dit is nog maar het begin.
Our very first workshop at @matenacht … “Creating in the Klieder” by @sterros____________ .. and it started exactly how it should 🎨
“Creating in the Klieder” wasn’t just about drawing, it was about letting go.
Letting go of what’s “correct”, “clean”, or “beautiful”.
People sat down, experimented, made a mess… and somehow, that’s where the magic happened.
Colors, textures, random ideas turning into something real
without pressure, without expectations.
Honestly?
If you think you “can’t draw”… this is probably where you’d prove yourself wrong.
And this? Just the beginning 😉
Don’t be the one saying “I wish I was there” next time.
“Creating in the Klieder” ما كانت بس وركشوب رسم… كانت مساحة ننسى فيها شوي فكرة إنو لازم كل شي يطلع “مرتب” أو “صح”.
الناس قعدت، لعبت، جرّبت
ألوان، ورق، أفكار عم تطلع بدون تفكير زيادة…
وكل واحد كان عم يعمل شي بطريقته، بدون قوانين، بدون ضغط.
باختصار؟
إذا كنت مفكر حالك “ما بتعرف ترسم”… غالباً كنت رح تكتشف العكس بهالساعة.
واللي صار هون… هو بس البداية 😉
الجايات أقوى، فلا تكونوا من الناس يلي بيقولوا “يا ريت كنت موجود”.
De eerste workshop van Maté Nacht 🎨
“Creating in the Klieder” door Sterre Rosmalen
Een plek om los te laten… en gewoon te spelen 😏
Kleuren, experiment, een beetje chaos
en iets echts ontstond vanzelf.
Nog maar het begin 😉
Mis de volgende niet.

ورشة إبداعية يكون فيها اللعب والتجريب أساس التجربة.

🎬 20:30 – 21:30 | Film | Between Vodka and Stroopwafel | by: @ali_taifour
“Between Vodka and Stroopwafel” In the quiet Dutch city of Utrecht, Alexei, a Russian immigrant, lives between two worlds, never fully feeling at home. Between a fleeting smile on the street and carefully structured daily rituals, an apparently simple reality begins to shift into a darkly humorous and lightly surreal inner journey, where small details turn into subtle tests of identity and connection. “Between Vodka and Stroopwafel” is a visual reflection on alienation, adaptation, and the fragile distance between what we feel and what we learn to show.

🎬 20:30 – 21:30 | فيلم | Between Vodka en Stroopwafel | علي تيفور
في مدينة أوترخت الهولندية الهادئة، يعيش أليكسي، مهاجر روسي، بين عالمين دون أن يشعر بالانتماء الكامل لأيٍّ منهما.
بين ابتسامة عابرة في الشارع وطقوس يومية دقيقة، يبدأ واقع بسيط بالتحوّل إلى رحلة داخلية ساخرة ذات طابع سريالي خفيف، حيث تتحول التفاصيل الصغيرة إلى اختبارات خفية للهوية والانتماء.
“Between Vodka and Stroopwafel” هو تأمل بصري في الغربة، والتكيّف، والمسافة الهشّة بين ما نشعر به… وما نتعلم أن نظهره.

STEREOTYPE || Highlights from the Interactive Performance
“Stereotype” is an interactive performance where the body becomes a battlefield for identity.
A confrontation between how we see ourselves, and how others decide to see us.
Between the image imposed on the body, and the truth that tries to escape it.
In this work, the gaze is not passive.
It wounds, shapes, controls, diminishes, amplifies, or liberates.
Every look becomes an action. Every silence becomes a decision.
The audience is not watching… they are participating in the construction and destruction of the performer.
This highlight video presents fragments from the live performance at
@dance.of.fights, Art & Performance Event in @kabulagogo , 09-11-2025, Utrecht.
It is not the full piece, but a curated selection revealing the emotional pressure, the resistance, and the breaking points within the performance.
A piece about identity.
A piece about perception.
A piece about the violence of expectation,
and the small tenderness that survives underneath.

Behind these photos is a room full of movement, hesitation, laughter, and discovery.
We entered as strangers and slowly became a space of trust, expression, and courage.
Acting opened the door to presence, to listening, to reacting, and to breathing deeply.
These frames were taken inside the acting workshops @younity.utrecht Urban Talents
A place where we learned from each other stood back up after falling
and discovered parts of ourselves we had not seen before
The people in these photos are not just talents; they are skilled, thoughtful performers with presence, heart, and identity. Each one carries something unique; each one deserves to be seen, remembered, and followed. Support their work, follow their art, because what is coming is bigger and more beautiful.
@pavlinaanastasiia @kris7188 @sc1entist @olyasenchishina
This experience did not stay inside the room; it grew into a new creation: the film "Between Vodka and Stroopwafel." The premiere announcement is coming soon. Stay close; the moment of watching will belong to all of us.

STEREOTYPE – An Interactive Performance
Somewhere between light and shadow,
two figures stand, silent, unmasked.
Between them: only a gaze, a distance, a breath suspended in air.
Do we see others as they are...
or as we wish them to be?
In a performance that defies traditional theatre,
the space between the eyes and the body becomes a field of revelation,
a mirror where each of us might see ourselves.
Everything that happens here is real,
but no one knows what will happen next.
This Interactive Performance a part of @dance.of.fights organised by @kabulagogo a collective art event blending performances, live music, and visual arts to explore resistance, emotion, and unity.
Performed by: @da.mir.b and @ali_taifour

From the campaign “A Song for Palestine” @wijtrekkeneenrodelijn
Because art does not stand neutral,
And music can say what the world cannot,
Every note is a cry of life rising from beneath the rubble
And we will keep going until justice is done.

"Flashbacks" is the original soundtrack inspired by the short experimental theatrical film that portrays human memory in times of war, how the same stories keep repeating with different names, faces, and places.
The work connects two profound symbols: Handala - created by Naji Al-Ali as an emblem of Palestinian identity, and A’ajaf - a character born in 2011 by @ali_taifour during the Syrian war, embodying hope amid destruction.
Through a sequence of evocative scenes, real war sounds, and musical compositions born from the wars in Syria and Palestine, the piece explores the conflict between memory and conscience.
It stands as a visual and sonic reflection on power, loss, and the long-awaited rebirth of the Levant.

Red Triangle is the debut EP by Palestinian artist @imadiddin_ , built around the motto "Respect existence or expect resistance." The music channels how collective resistance forms in people - and the adrenaline you feel when you stand up for what's right, even as the underdog.

PRISON
"A performance that explores the concept of the diminished meaning of freedom within the prisons of our fabricated lives, amidst spaces filled with absurdity and silent chaos."
======================================
"Unlock your mind and experience a theatrical masterpiece with 'PRISON'! Dive deep into the intellectual, psychological, and emotional prisons imposed by society, traditions, and more. Our performers will challenge your perceptions and lead you on a journey through three compelling timelines that break the barriers of time and space. "

Tussen de momenten door
Niet alles gebeurt voor de lens. Deze foto's vangen de sfeer buiten het podium: gesprekken, pauzes, blikken, kleine momenten van rust te midden van het feest.

Of ze nu alleen kwamen of met vrienden, iedereen bracht zijn eigen vibe. Deze portretten vangen de schoonheid van gewoon jezelf zijn op een feestdag vol kleur en vrijheid.
