The Circle of Truth Part 2 is the second edition of DOOR Foundation's Truth Trilogy, following the successful Part 1 performed in 2022. Set in a large metal warehouse at the NDSM, DOOR Open Space, 'The Circle of Truth' is inspired by the Faustian way we navigate our lives in this post-truth era.
Once you pass through the small door beneath the vibrant red neon circle, you embark on an immersive journey into the heart of truth.

At the event, guests enjoyed a vegan menu at Café Central.
During the evening, a vegan-friendly menu inspired by the enigmatic Doctor Faust was served, offering a luscious 3-course meal filled with locally sourced forbidden fruits and soul-provoking flavors.
