Music, dance and spoken word originated by the universal Zapatista tales of nature, humanity and wisdom transcending borders.

A theatre performance where drops of rain meet the earth to become a river, a fish and a tree. They know all too well that real joy only lies in acknowledging the other.

This theatre performance is originated by months of communal workshops and rehearsals at AstaroTheatro in the spirit of resistance and connection.

Amsterdam BANGS is a politically charged joyride taking place all over Amsterdam during September 19th to 22nd. Get ready for a BANGING theatre and performance festival, organised by anarchists, artists, and activists, to take over not just traditional venues, not just the squats, not just the streets, not just your local Albert Heijn, not just your ING help desk but even your own home. BANGS is non-hierarchically and self-organised: anyone can propose their show, wherever they want, create any workshop or performance, so long as it’s non-commercial and BANGING. Stages are kept behind gates, giving space only to certain voices. We want Amsterdam to be our stage and hear the voices of many! We wish for soft, loud, ludicrous, experimental performance art and activism to take over the city and shake it up! Have the city become our playground.
