Thursday October 23, 2025, Benefit voku for Astaro Theatro. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.
Kaos Kitchen is raising funds for Astaro Theatro, a community theatre in the heart of touristy Amsterdam. Still surviving amidst the floods of commodifications, but the tides are rising and so are the rent and bills. Astaro has always been a place where the marginalized can come together in joy, to dance, to play, to sing or have some paste made with love. In short a wholesome home for all. A place of rest and regeneration where art and activism meet.
As the maestro himself says it:
“Our lives are communal; we need to be social to survive. The neoliberal assumption of individuals being responsible for their (material-economical) wellbeing within society (read: market) leads to the commodification of mankind, a world where everything and everyone is a commodity, a product. This is true for the arts as well. We witness the growing pornification of theatre in order to sell, its reduction to an empty shell, flashing from the outside but devoid of authentic, unexploited meaning within. The exploration of meaning is at present dangerous territory, mined and savage, where artists need to move with care”
In treu Astaro Theatro spirit, there will be food, there will be shows and there will be a whole lot of gezelligheid.
Come grab food, come enjoy performances and come support the warmest and coolest theatre in Amsterdam!
