The story follows a brother and two sisters \u2013 Bento, Rebecca, and Miriam \u2013 growing up in the Portuguese-Jewish refugee community of 17th-century Amsterdam.<\/p>\n<p>Shaped by exile, love, and loss, each chooses a different path. Bento dares to radically question God and tradition; Rebecca seeks safety within the community; Miriam dreams of a freedom beyond the roles imposed upon her.<\/p>\n<p>Through explosive debates, tender family moments, and powerful songs, the musical traces their struggles with faith, philosophy, and forbidden love. Against a backdrop of plague, war, and Spinoza\u2019s groundbreaking ideas, the three are slowly pulled further apart \u2014 yet never fully separated. Their bond is tested to its limits in scenes filled with grief, passion, and resistance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1290\" data-end=\"1643\">Spinoza is a deeply human story about love, conviction, and the courage to think differently. It shows that a society cannot exist with only one voice. We need those who dare to question everything. We need those who root us in history and tradition. And we need the bridge-builders \u2014 those who remain between extremes, who connect where others break.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1645\" data-end=\"1721\">Only together do we remain human.<br data-start=\"1682\" data-end=\"1685\" \/>Only together do we remain free.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1645\" data-end=\"1721\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32382 size-large1500\" src=\"https:\/\/nite.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Spinoza_28052026_Bostheater_GergelyOfner_web__web-6-1-1500x1000.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nnt.nite.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Spinoza_28052026_Bostheater_GergelyOfner_web__web-6-1-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/nnt.nite.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Spinoza_28052026_Bostheater_GergelyOfner_web__web-6-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nnt.nite.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Spinoza_28052026_Bostheater_GergelyOfner_web__web-6-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nnt.nite.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Spinoza_28052026_Bostheater_GergelyOfner_web__web-6-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nnt.nite.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Spinoza_28052026_Bostheater_GergelyOfner_web__web-6-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nnt.nite.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Spinoza_28052026_Bostheater_GergelyOfner_web__web-6-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/nnt.nite.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Spinoza_28052026_Bostheater_GergelyOfner_web__web-6-1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/nnt.nite.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Spinoza_28052026_Bostheater_GergelyOfner_web__web-6-1.jpg 2160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1728\" data-end=\"1743\">Credits<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1745\" data-end=\"2562\"><strong>Direction<\/strong>: Guy Weizman | <strong>choreography<\/strong>: Roni Haver | <strong>text<\/strong>: Rik van den Bos, Marieke van Veen, Lev Avitan | <strong>cast<\/strong>: Adam Kissequel, Adam Peterson, Bien De Moor, Camilo Chapela, J\u00e9sula Toussaint Visser, Joes Brauers, Karima El Fillali, Malou Gorter, Nimu\u00eb Walraven, Olaf Ait Tami, Sarah Janneh | <strong>musicians<\/strong>: Niels Meliefste (percussion), Noa Eyl (violin), Mutasim Hassan (ney, ud), Giordano Mor (trombone), Zofia Sofinka Imiela (keys, vocal coach), Angelos Ursini (clarinet\/saxophone) | <strong>music<\/strong>: David Dramm, Pink Oculus |\u00a0<strong>lyrics<\/strong>: Guy Weizman | <strong>set design<\/strong>: Ascon de Nijs | <strong>costumes<\/strong>: Benji Nijenhuis | <strong>lighting design<\/strong>: Maarten van Rossem | <strong>sound design<\/strong>: Peter Zwart, Sander van der Werff | <strong>dramaturgy<\/strong>: Friederike Schubert | <strong>musical dramaturgy<\/strong>: David Dramm | <strong>assistant director<\/strong>: Ludy Golstein<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":31836,"parent":0,"menu_order":223,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"domain":[8,11],"location":[],"class_list":["post-31754","voorstelling","type-voorstelling","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","domain-nite","domain-clubguyandroni"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v20.7 (Yoast SEO v20.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Spinoza - Nite<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/nite.nl\/en\/voorstelling\/spinoza\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Spinoza\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Amsterdam, 17th century.
