Antidote Festival is a three day dance and performance festival in the forest. On 28, 29 and 30 June, an international collective of artists from Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, Brussels and Cape Town move into the forest by Utrecht to establish a temporary, future arts community. The encounter between audience and dancers, choreographers, performers, technicians, thinkers and other artists is pivotal during this No Backstage festival.
