Don’t miss your chance to explore the stars like never before, book your seat now and journey with us through the cosmos!
Warning: this show is in Dutch.
Nothing beats spending quality time with the most amazing woman in your life, right? Breakfast in bed is always nice, but come on—aren’t we a little past that? And seriously, when was the last time you took her out for a nice meal? Exactly!
It’s time for a Mother’s Day bash at DOT! We’ll take you and your mom on a culinary adventure with our shared lunch concept, serving six mouthwatering dishes and a mimosa for just €24.95 per person.
And if you want to add some extra sparkle to the occasion, we’ve got perfectly paired bubbles and wines to keep the vibe festive. Because let’s be real, what’s better than sharing a drink with your mom?
If your mom’s not into drinking but still your best partner in crime, no worries—we’ve got matching virgin cocktails too. Make this Mother’s Day one to remember!
Parents, we see you. Tired? Hungover? Just need five minutes without a tiny human demanding snacks? We got you. Starting Sunday, April 6, we’re looping FREE kids’ movies (or some other entertainment) on the big screen, so your little monsters stay entertained while you kick back, sip a drink and actually finish a conversation. No tickets, no stress, just pure, uninterrupted parental freedom (well, for a little while at least). Come, drop in and let us do the babysitting (kinda). You deserve it!

During the film Recombination, the dome screen at DOT transforms into a gigantic kaleidoscope of light and form. Visual artist Julius Horsthuis spent a year and a half crafting this remarkable project, taking you on a journey through eight enchanting worlds. Each world is accompanied by unique, specially composed music by some of his favourite producers.
The breathtaking landscapes and dreamlike architectural structures on display are fractals – intricate patterns generated through mathematical formulas. By visualising these abstract equations, Horsthuis reveals a universe of hypnotic beauty, from psychedelic cathedrals to mind-expanding natural vistas.
Recombination is an immersive audiovisual experience that stimulates all your senses. The original soundtrack features music by Michael Stearns, David Levy, Max Cooper, Desert Dwellers, Ben Lukas Boysen, Temple Invisible, and Ott.
Please note: This film contains rapidly flashing images that may trigger seizures in individuals with photosensitive epilepsy.
Dive into the fractal unknown – grab your seat and prepare to have your mind bent beautifully!
Remember the Dutch classic “Ter Land, Ter Zee en In de Lucht?”
