Szalai photographed 166 hens individually against a neutral background. What appears at first glance to be an almost scientific catalogue transforms\, upon closer inspection\, into a series of individual portraits. No two chickens are alike. \nThis is precisely where the power of the project lies. These animals are part of a highly standardised production system in which they are valued primarily for their biological function. Szalai temporarily removes them from this anonymous context\, giving each animal its own presence. Differences in posture\, gaze\, plumage\, and character suddenly become visible. \nAlongside the portraits\, Novogen features photographs that trace the journey of the eggs within the pharmaceutical industry. By doing so\, Szalai connects the individual animal to a technological system in which nature\, science\, and the economy are increasingly intertwined. Novogen\, therefore\, raises questions that extend beyond the poultry industry. \nWhat happens when living organisms become part of an industrial production chain? Where does the line lie between care\, scientific progress\, and exploitation? And how do we view an animal once it is no longer anonymous\, but confronts us as an individual? \nNovogen was exhibited in 2025 at the Can Reon Festival of Art and Music in Tiana\, near Barcelona\, and was curated by Renny Ramakers\, co-founder of Droog. From September 2026\, the project will be on display at the Droog Gallery.

His music connects the rhythmic traditions of Brazil with contemporary global influences\, creating a unique sound that blends Afro-Brazilian grooves\, MPB\, reggae\, folk and modern world music. \n \nGrowing up in the Complexo do Alemão\, one of Rio’s most iconic communities\, Eddu developed a musical identity deeply rooted in storytelling\, resilience and cultural diversity. \nToday\, living in the Netherlands\, his work explores migration\, belonging\, identity and cultural exchange\, transforming personal stories into vibrant performances filled with rhythm\, emotion and celebration. \n \nHis concerts invite audiences to experience Brazil beyond clichés—through original songs\, captivating storytelling and infectious grooves.“Dona Tatá” is a musical project inspired by the migration story of Eddu’s grandmother\, who left Brazil’s Northeast searching for a better future. \nHer story reflects the journey of millions of Brazilians who moved from rural communities to major cities\, and today inspires a new generation living across Europe. \n \nThrough original songs\, personal stories and visual performances\, the project builds a bridge between cultures\, generations and continents.

All musicians in the band are at home with composed music as well as improvised music. \n In this time of unrest and despair in the cruelty of humanity\, the solace and the happiness found in the traditional musics reminds one of the connections between humans as they go through hardships and joy. Music as a way to connect to one’s past to one’s ancestry and to find a way to connect with friends and colleagues through music. \nGilbert is a disciplined singer who can sing old Irish songs like My Lagan Love\, and Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies with the best of them. But she can throw her voice into the cracks and fissures of an improvising musical trio and add immeasurably to its depth and dimension. (Thom Jurek – All Music Guide) \n \nPre-show: \nBarkin’ Birds consists of three women with a lot of instruments. They started as a country trio\, but soon fanned and bounced in all directions: Blue-grass\, folk\, swing\, jazz\, pop… Even an unadulterated schlager is not missing from their repertoire. \nThree altos\, so a nice\, warm sound. Three altos? Yes\, you can\, come and listen! \nhttps://www.droog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/signal-2026-07-15-11-41-29-484_003.mp4\nMirjam Oldenhave: vocals\, guitar\, bass\, cajonita \nIneke van Straeten: Vocals \nDominique Romeny: vocals\, guitar\, banjo\, mandolin URL:https://www.droog.com/program/jodi-g-and-the-wayfaring-strangers/ LOCATION:@droog CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.droog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Jodi-G.-and-the-Wayfaring-Strangers_20260321EW9_9455-c-Eddy-Westveer.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20261116T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20261116T210000 DTSTAMP:20261008T102535Z CREATED:20260825T121929Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261008T102535Z UID:10000352-1794857400-1794862800@www.droog.com SUMMARY:Mengkristal Premiere DESCRIPTION:MENGKRISTAL\nMengkristal is een produktiehuis\, opgericht door theatermaker en ondernemer Chantal Inen en sociaal ondernemer Sarriel Taus.  \nWat is een Mengkristal?\nEen Mengkristal is een persoon die een aanzienlijk deel van hun vormende jaren heeft doorgebracht buiten de cultuur van de ouders.

Through conversation\, memories and artwork\, along with reflections by the filmmaker herself\, they create together this positive\, different kind of “coming-of-age” story.\n \nMargot and Barbara\, close friends and artists\, and the director’s mother & mother-in-law\, meet for a work retreat in a stone farmhouse in the German countryside. They are both on the cusp of their ninth decade. As they begin to work on the large stones they have brought to sculpt\, they embark on a conversation about creativity and aging\, exploring what it means for them to arrive at this stage of their lives. Their wrinkled hands become dusty as they scrape and chisel the stones. \n \nThe farmhouse becomes a yearly ritual where the women share their pasts\, discuss their artistic processes\, and reflect on their changing roles as artists\, women\, and mothers. Margot and Barbara aren’t looking back on their lives. They are living them. \nSarah Gross\, Director/Producer\nDirector and Producer Sarah Gross’ works have been shown in festivals around the world and broadcast on PBS nationally and Deutsche Welle internationally. Grains of Sand is her fourth feature-length documentary. Past films include documentary features Brown Bread and A Growing Thing and the documentary series Connection. Her production company Bugle Films is based in Berlin\, Germany. \n \nTELLING OUR STORIES: THE MEMOIR PROJECT \nIn the film\, Barbara and Margot describe sometimes seemingly small events from earlier years. These memories continue to resonate for them now. It is less the facts but rather the atmosphere and feelings of earlier moments which help us understand who they are today. For the Telling Our Stories workshop\, writing is used as a way of accessing memories\, which we then unpack by sharing them in small groups. Our goal is to use our writing to reflect individually and as a group about how we can rediscover certain moments for ourselves or share them with others. Communities who make art together can learn something new about themselves and about those with whom they interact. We aim to build bridges among participants\, creating opportunities for sharing and reflecting for ourselves about aging with purpose. How do we incorporate past moments into who we are now? And how do we share what is meaningful to us with others?

Now we’re back for round two.\n\nEight of Amsterdam’s up-and-coming comedians take the stage with their best material\, plus a few bold\, brand-new jokes you’ve never heard before.\nFresh Takes is a curated comedy night for people who like sharp jokes\, strange thoughts\, and comedians you’ll want to say you saw early.\n\n@droog\, Amsterdam\n24 November 2026\n\n\n\nBianca:\nDry\, observational stand-up from an introvert who has already overthought this bio. Bianca started comedy in September 2025 and was a 2025 TUNA Newbie of the Year finalist. She did not win. You may have gathered that from the word “finalist.”\n\n\n\nIsa:\nBorn by the Caspian Sea\, named wrongly\, and Amsterdam-based. Isa tries to make sense of philosophy\, religion\, and everyday absurdity through satire and awkward humor.\n\n \n\n\n\nLennard:\n“No matter your age\, it’s never too late to give up on your dreams.”\n\nAt age 43\, Lennard finally gave up his life’s mission of being one of the cool kids and switched to comedy instead.\nHe now spends his days writing jokes. Please don’t tell his boss.\nLennard has yet to win any awards\, or recognition\, or respect\, or dignity\, but he firmly believes you can achieve anything if you just put your mind to it. Case in point: he did a push-up once.\n \n\n\n\n\nThomas:\nThomas recently started getting up on stages. Sometimes he’s a storyteller\, other times a poet\, today he’s a comedian. They say he’s unapologetically gay. That’s not true. He apologises in advance.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGeorge:\nThis strange man from Switzerland has been a regular in Amsterdam’s comedy scene since 2022. George dazzles audiences with his honest\, bizarre style. He is also getting closer and closer to making it.\n\n\n\n\nGeorgie:\nA first-hand report from the dungeons of dating\, on the hunt for her first husband. Georgie gives very\, very true accounts of the horrors of modern men and the plight of single women in the current economy. Her raw and largely inappropriate take will mostly just leave you pitying her.\n\n\n\nAryo:\nAryo has been doing standup for a year and he has yet to give up on comedy. His act is delightfully awkward\, occasionally relatable\, and always unforgettable.\n\n\n\n\n\nJoey:\nJoey is a French guy from Spain who grew up in the Caribbean\, but he’s been in the Netherlands for over 10 years. This means he has a few thoughts to share. Some of those are personal\, some are from his eccentric point of view\, and some are straight up hot takes. Either way\, he’s laying his weird little brain bare to you for a bit\, so feel free to laugh with him or at him.\n\n\n\n\nLupe\, the MC of the night:\nLupe Estrada is widely known as an absurdist yet accessible comic who takes you to the deep\, dark\, and goofy corners of his mind\, always with warmth\, comfort\, and\, most importantly\, laughter URL:https://www.droog.com/program/funny-vidi-vici-presents-fresh-takes-24nov/ LOCATION:@droog CATEGORIES:Comedy ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.droog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/2-2-scaled-e1787222317822.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20261127T201500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20261127T213000 DTSTAMP:20260909T130836Z CREATED:20260807T123753Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260909T130836Z UID:10000343-1795810500-1795815000@www.droog.com SUMMARY:Rashi Favier: Person of Colour DESCRIPTION:‘Person of Colour‘ is a funny and heartfelt show exploring race\, identity\, and privilege. From battling sexism in India to facing racism in the Netherlands\, walk an hour in Rashi’s (big) shoes to laugh\, to reflect\, and to maybe see the world a little differently. \nWhat happens when a privileged woman suddenly becomes “a person of colour”? After 12 sold-out shows she takes you on a witty\, funny\, emotional and deeply personal journey of immigration\, identity\, and privilege. Through a blend of comedy and storytelling\, she explores her first brush with racism in a country that prides itself on tolerance\, while reflecting on the irony of battling sexism in India while having the comfort and invisibility that comes from being the oppressor. Whether you’ve lived this experience\, never thought about it\, or are somewhere in between\, this is for anyone curious about what it feels like to become a person of colour… overnight. \nRashi: \nYou may know Rashi\, the tallest Indian in the Netherlands\, from her viral videos on everything Dutch culture\, along with tackling important social issues like feminism\, ethical fashion\, white privilege\, and colonialism. Hailing from South India\, she has become more Dutch than she would have liked\, living here for 6 years\, but still won’t shy away from pointing out that ‘broodje kaas’ is not ‘lunch’. \n \nThe show is in English. \nDoors Open: 19:45 \nShow Starts: 20:15 \nhttps://www.droog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Whitening-Creams.mp4 URL:https://www.droog.com/program/rashi-favier-person-of-colour/ LOCATION:@droog CATEGORIES:Comedy ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.droog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/PERSON-OF-COLOUR-e1786105939387.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20261128T201500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20261128T213000 DTSTAMP:20261102T115934Z CREATED:20261019T085633Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261102T115934Z UID:10000364-1795896900-1795901400@www.droog.com SUMMARY:Liberty Corbett DESCRIPTION:Liberty Corbett creates folk music that opens a small room within the larger world: a place to look closely at the tender and human. In her live project\, she performs on vocals and acoustic guitar alongside Kai Spatzier on synth and piano\, Álvaro Orcajo on double bass\, and Lluís Perez-Villegas on drums and percussion. Playful and carefully crafted\, the music moves between arranged compositions and light-footed improvisation\, creating songs that feel intimate yet surprising. \n \nFormerly the singer and composer of psychedelic folk band Chrysalis\, Liberty has performed at venues including Paradiso and sold out two release shows for the band’s 2024 double single Face to Face / Words of Wit. Her solo work carries a similar dream-logic: Gently suspended somewhere between liquid and solid\, like an egg yolk.

He incessantly records new words and idioms in his mother tongue. He considers language his home as he wanders from one exile to another. With its vast\, infinite range of words\, symbols\, and anti-colonial resonance\, translating James Joyce’s Ulysses into Kurdish becomes his burning passion. Leaving political turmoil and his loved ones behind he moves from Turkey to the Netherlands. Kawa takes refuge at Anne Frank’s former house in Amsterdam\, where she started writing her diary\, now serving as a residence for exiled writers.
