Courage!

That’s what it’s about this fall during The Amsterdam Storytelling Festival.

Dozens of artists from all over the world share their soul stirrings through storytelling, clowning, music and performance. In addition to more than 20 performances, there are also workshops and talks in Podium Mozaïek, which will be transformed into a Middle Eastern salon for the occasion.

Come by and immerse yourself in a warm bath!
