De
Balie
is a
well-
known
platform
and center
for the
freedom of
speech,
contemporary art,
politics, culture,
cinema and media,
situated near the
Leidseplein in the
heart of Amsterdam. Our
(daily) programs
consistently bear the mark
of a sharp and deeply
analytical character. Through
talkshows, cinema, art,
debates and theatre, De Balie
mixes several points of view in a
wayward and creative fashion.
Our Grand Café is a place to eat,
drink, chat and work (feel free to use
our open Wi-FI!). De Balie was founded
in 1982 and is situated in the previous
District Court.

The Master of all rhyme
a 22 song tribute
How lucky that we share our time
With the master of all rhyme
I speak of holy doves and things
A waltz from burning violins
I speak of lady midnight too
Democracy just passing through
I could go on the list is long
Chelsea hotel a tower of song
And if my secret life comes true
The future now is coming back to you
Here once more on boogie street
Where a bunch of lonesome heroes meet
Tonight will be fine as the guests arrive
We will be for real in the smokey life
For love itself is our only crime
As night comes on until closing time
And whither thou goest from this day
Everybody knows what the letters say
Dear Amsterdam you heard our cry
