Grand Opening: COURAGE
Sahand Sahebdivani, Raphael Rodan & friends
Grand opener full of stories and starter energy! After this night you will feel the courage to stay for the full festival.
That’s what it’s about this fall during The Amsterdam Storytelling Festival. Please join us from November 6 to 10 at Podium Mozaïek in Amsterdam West, where we offer you a five-day program full of surprising stories about daring deeds and the feelings of insignificance that can be hidden underneath.
Dozens of artists from all over the world will come together and share their soul stirrings through storytelling, clowning and music. In addition to all those brave performances, there are also workshops, talks and a masterclass at Podium Mozaïek, which will be transformed into a Middle Eastern salon for the occasion.
Please come by and immerse yourself in a warm bath!
PS For the weekend there are day passes, so you can soak up as much culture as you want.
