Tell the Bees at Takland
Tell the Bees
As the archipelago is slowly silenced, who will tell the bees?
A theatrical performance of poetry, acting presence, alarming beats and a resounding flute.
A cyclical call to tune in to nature, at least for the time being.
In line with AstaroTheatro’s grassroots dedication in crafting original theatrical content, this performance originates from the performers themselves. It aims at including and involving all audience in a participatory experience.

Theatre as Communal Experience
Theatre as Communal Experience
This theatre workshop aims at gathering around the necessity of grassroots, multidisciplinary, multilingual, transcultural, artistic expression based on theatre, music, singings, visual arts, voice and body performance.
We explore the basics of the performative practice: posture, movement, presence, body, space, games and the voice in many of their expressions.
Our voices breathe and engage in spoken word, text and poetry.
Our bodies play roles and accompany impro’s and storytelling.
Our practice originates from ourselves: memories, stories and sounds of stones and steps, images of repopulated land, memories of touching, smell of seaweed.
Three classes: 12, 19, 26 April 14:00-17:00
Participants can attend one or more classes but it is highly recommended to follow all three of them.
This workshop is by donation. We encourage a € 10 suggested donation per class unless you are low income.
Highly appreciated if you confirm your attendance in advance: info@ourfootsteps.nl

Explorative Performance Session Vol.1 – On Wars & Images
Explorative Performance Session Vol. 1
On War & Images
On War & Images
An open session with a blurred demarcation line between performers and audience.
A participative encounter where images, materials, words and practices are provided with the aim of creating an organic, fluid creative process.
Using the tools provided by theatre practice, this interactive session explores the pervasive narrative of war and how images produce the imaginary of daily devastation.
“In the dark times
Will there also be singing?
Yes, there will also be singing.
About the dark times.”

Mask Workshop
Mask Workshop
a multidisciplinary workshop of masks, beats and theatre
The process of masks making with mask acting combined! We start by creating masks that fit our emotions and our imagination. We learn to wear those masks and we embody our imagination by using beats and rhythms and by creating awareness of our presence in the space. We also practice the basics of theatre: posture, movement, body in space, breathing and voice in many of their expressions.
Our practice is sensorial and originates from ourselves: memories, stories, sounds of stones and steps, images of repopulated land, reminiscence of touching, smell of seaweed.
Attendance at session 1 and 2 is required to be able to join session 3.
Limited number of participants

Rojava is a society that stood in the name of humanity against ISIS, building a new life based on freedom, democracy, and women’s equality at the cost of tens of thousands of lives.
Today, as these achievements are targeted by heavy attacks and attempts at destruction, international silence is turning into complicity.
Yet solidarity continues to grow, and hope still stands.
In Astarotheatro, we come together to raise our voices for Rojava’s struggle for freedom.
