De Warme Winkel is one of the most high-profile theatre companies in the Netherlands, with its ground-breaking productions for both larger and smaller venues. Their work on location has also caused quite a stir. De Warme Winkel's most pioneering pieces came about with intimate productions in nuclear shelters, squatted buildings, recycling centres or living room theatres.

De Warme Winkel won both the direction award and critical award for their piece De Warme Winkel speelt De Warme Winkel. Together with theatre collective BOG, they just opened the first Amsterdam theatre arts incubator De Sloot near Sloterdijk station. A workspace for theatre makers with two halls, studios, ateliers and a bar and restaurant. Casting (Holland Festival 2022) is the first piece performed here.
