What Raymi Sambo Maakt does
Raymi Sambo Maakt is a Dutch performing arts collective founded in 2011 by artist Raymi Sambo and headquartered in Amsterdam (Bijlmer). The company creates theater performances, films, podcasts, talkshows, vlogs, and summer evening events centered on intercultural, queer, and identity-related themes, including racism, gender diversity, LGBTQ+ experiences, and Dutch slavery history. Its catalog spans more than a dozen productions since 2011, with notable recent works including "Ik zeg toch sorry" (2022, Theaterfestival 2023 selection, Columbina and regieprijs nominations), "Gendermonologen" (2023), "Duizend aanslagen op de Obama's" (2024), and "Identiteitsmonologen" (Bonaire, 2025).
The company operates with approximately 10 employees and generates revenue through two identified streams: theater ticket sales (€8.50–€15 per ticket across productions) and coproduction partnerships with Dutch theaters and cultural institutions, including Theatergroep Aluin, BackBone, Likeminds, Stichting Nieuwe Makers, and anchor venue De Melkweg (annual host since 2016). Distribution spans major Dutch theaters (DeLaMar, Stadsschouwburg Utrecht, ITA), festivals (Oerol, Limburg Festival, Theaterfestival), Dutch secondary schools (Project IK for HAVO/VWO grades 4–6), and global podcast platforms. Productions are scheduled through 2027, including upcoming works "Wachten op Marsha," "Drugsmonologen," and "Anton de Kom, mijn vader." The business is privately held with no disclosed external investment; standard Dutch public arts subsidies are the likely but unstated source of operating capital alongside earned revenue.

Raymi Sambo Maakt competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- BackBone: Dutch production company and coproduction partner for 'Kaap Liefde'. Operates in the same niche of producing scripted reality and socially themed Dutch theatrical content.
- Well Made Productions: Amsterdam-based film and documentary production company. Comparable as a Dutch independent production house creating culturally engaged film and multimedia content for Dutch and international audiences.
- Stichting Nieuwe Makers: Dutch foundation supporting new theater makers and coproduction partner for 'Nu mijn borsten eraf zijn'. Directly comparable as a Dutch performing arts organization producing identity and gender-themed work.
- Theatergroep Aluin: Independent Dutch theater company that is Raymi Sambo Maakt's primary coproduction partner (e.g., 'Ik zeg toch sorry'). Both operate as small-to-mid Dutch theater collectives producing socially engaged original work for the Dutch market.
Broad incumbents
- Het Nationale Theater: Large established Dutch theater company operating across The Hague and beyond. Comparable as a Dutch professional theater producer, though with significantly broader programming and institutional scale.
- Toneelgroep Amsterdam: Established Amsterdam-based theater company producing Dutch-language theater. Comparable as part of the Dutch professional performing arts ecosystem but at substantially larger scale and scope.
- Internationaal Theater Amsterdam (ITA): Amsterdam's flagship theater company and venue. Raymi Sambo Maakt performs at ITA (e.g., 'Duizend aanslagen op de Obama's' premiere) but ITA is a much larger established institution with broader programming.
- DeLaMar Theater: Major Amsterdam theater venue that hosted 'Ik zeg toch sorry'. Functions as a broader incumbent venue/programmer rather than a direct producer, but comparable as part of the Dutch professional theater ecosystem.
Emerging players

Regional players
