Thursday April 17 2025, Benefit Voku for Amsterdam BANGS Festival. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.
BANGS is 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-hierarchical and self-organised: anyone can propose their show, wherever they want, create any workshop or performance, so long as it’s non-commercial, respects BANGS’ values, and is just BANGING.
Stages are kept behind gates, giving space to the same old voices. Cultural funds are cut off, free and artistic spaces closed down, and inhabitants pulled away from the artists living in the same city. We want Amsterdam to be a broad 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! Let the city become our playground.
This year in September, BANGS will have its second edition, which will take place from 19th–22nd September 2025. If you want to know more, check out our website. Our Open Call will be out soon, so if you feel like organising something, let us know!
By coming to eat at Joe’s Garage and enjoying some delicious food in lovely company, you are helping this festival come to life. The donation money will be used to cover printing costs.
