Renato Ferreira is a composer, saxophone and double-bass player, originally from São Paulo, Brazil.
In São Paulo, he was a member of the ensemble of Ricardo Zohyo, a long-term collaborator of Hermeto Pascoal, studying many forms of Brazilian folklore as well as Brazilian instrumental music.
After moving to the Netherlands, he played for many years in the Royal Improvisers Orchestra, together with some of the most exciting young musicians from the improvised music scene in Amsterdam and The Hague. With this group he performed several times at Amsterdam’s Bimhuis, including collaborations with Han Bennink, Steve Beresford, Phil Minton and the London Improvisers Orchestra.
Since 2015, he has been leading the Native Aliens Ensemble, a group that combines composition and free improvisation into an explosive mix with roots in traditional forms of Brazilian folk music. The Native Aliens Ensemble recorded a live CD at Teatro Munganga in Amsterdam, released by Trytone Records, and performed twice at the Bimhuis in 2016 and 2017.
He took part in the Music Of Inevitable Sounds, a project by the legendary bass player Luc Ex, joined by pianists Nora Mulder and Veryan Weston a.o., performing in several venues across Europe such as Konzerthaus Vienna as part of the Wien Modern Festival, Teatro San Leonardo in Bologna, Italy, Korzo theater in The Hague and Tivoli Vredenburg in Utrecht, the Netherlands, and Festival Ars Musica at Les Brigittines, Bruxelles, Belgium.
Renato has been an active improviser in Amsterdam since 2010, playing with musicians such as Burton Greene, Anne La Berge, Nora Mulder, Onno Govaert, Michael Moore, Yedo Gibson, Hans Houtman, John Dikeman, Jasper Stadhouders, Saartje van Kamp, Tobias Delius, Wilbert De Joode, Nico Chientaroli, Oene van Geel and many others.
He graduated at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, where he studied contemporary composition with Martijn Padding, Cornelis De Bondt and Gilius van Bergeijk among others.

Baschira & Yunus: A La Muntagna
Baschira & Yunus: A La Muntagna
Once upon time there was a song. A La Muntagna. And this song inspired a profound nexus of true international solidarity. From the mountains of Southern Italy to the peaks of Kurdistan.
Baschira, Italian musician and songwriter and Yunus, Kurdish musician and polyhedric artist began to play together and to influence each other. Now their different music and artistic backgrounds have come together to a higher level of inspiration for the audience of AstaroTheatro.
From Italy to Kurdistan. And vice versa
Once upon a time there was a song. A La Muntagna. And this song inspired a short theatre performance of unity and common struggle. Now this performance is ready to touch the people of AstaroTheatro.
We make the pains of the earth our own

Ell Sol
Ell Sol (him Alone) is the solo acoustic project of Joan Mena (guitar and vocals) performer, guitarist, improviser and multitask from Catalunya.
Involving his personal evocation of catalan chanson and inspired by the DIY tour world , Ell Sol jumps into a colorful rollercoaster of words, strings and presence in his intense performances pushing softly the boundaries of contemporary music.
He will be presenting a 20 minutes set of songs, poems, compositions, tricks, movements and new fantasies.
“Does Catalonian balladry involve a lot of sighing, whispering, squawking and screeching? Well regardless if it does or it doesn’t we got that. Charming and very surprising show, a whole new approach to playing a guitar.¨
Richard James Foster -The Quietus, Louder than War, Vice… (Incendiary Magazine )

AstaroTheatro presents a monologue by Howard Zinn adapted and performed by Roberto Bacchilega.
Karl Marx has had enough of seeing his revolution taken over by opportunists organizing each time a new priesthood and a new hierarchy, with excommunications and indexes, with inquisitions and firing squads. He is disgusted by media declaring him dead again and again. Karl Marx is back to remind us that his ideas are more alive than ever. He revisits memories of his courageous life and revolutionary theories. We learn about his family, his struggles and the boils on his arse.
