Solidarity VoKu for AstaroTheatro, Participatory and Community Theatre

Thursday March 13, 2025, Solidarity VoKu for Participatory and Community Theatre. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Theatre as community experience, as a way to create awareness and support activism has been for years at the center of AstaroTheatro’s practice.
Various communities and collectives operate inside her space in a full participatory and grassroots way, challenging corporate mediocrity and creating truly authentic narratives and contra-culture in the context of defining political theatre.
This voku aims at supporting part of the current productions of our participatory theatre. AstaroTheatro is and will always be donation-based, but the costs and the financial challenges of our shared space are conspicuous. By coming and share a meal with us, you support our communities. Thank you!

In Its Own Right – To Multiply Voices of Palestinian Artists

By: börek - February 7th, 2024  Filed under: Theater

Friday 16 February 2024, In Its Own Right – To Multiply Voices of Palestinian Artists. An AstaroTheatro Production. Door opens at 20:00

To multiply the voices of Palestinian artists that believe in the importance of their practice as cultural resistance, we are echoing the stories of lives under settler colonialism. Mixed with our own reflections about political theatre as a way to reignite Palestinian cultural flame. Believing this is an act of political love and solidarity with those who need that we exercise our rights and freedom of speech to make echo of their legitimate claim to exist.

In Its Own Right is our theatrical answer to the call to join a global artistic collaboration with The Revolution’s Promise, a collaboration between Artists on the Frontline and The Freedom Theatre in Jenin.

The Want, An Evening of Theatre and Talks

By: börek - November 10th, 2023  Filed under: Theater

Friday 17 November 2023, The Want, An Evening of Theatre and Talks. Door opens at 20:00

We perform a short excerpt from ‘In the solitude of the cotton fields’ by Bernard-Marie Koltès where our dramaturgical analysis underlines the consumerism and the commodification in society.
We sit together and we engage in an open conversation about the topics highlighted by the theatre performance: from commodification to war from environmental disaster to autonomous communities, from the manipulation of love to anything we would like to discuss.
Because The Dealer is always there to remind you that ‘you must want something’. So be aware that you are nothing but a consumer in a consumers’ world. Unless you don’t want The Want.
