During the Night of Philosophy, visitors can create their ideal evening with a single ticket, with various speakers and workshops highlighting the depth and diversity of the theme of chaos. Cabaret artist Donny Ronny offers theater and spectacle inspired by chaos, while Elke Wiss explores the grip of chaos and Marjan Slob tackles the core philosophical question of the good life using living matter as an example. Folk philosopher Bas Haring brings lightness by "de-normalizing" and showing how the world is understandable and malleable. Practical workshops, such as those by philosopher Lisa Doeland on doomsday thinking and chaos therapists offering direction in chaotic lives, offer hands-on experiences. Art also takes an important role, including paper pop-up worlds based on personal stories and live changing images by Danielle Davidson.
