Promise me
A hymn to the untamed, the reckless, the brave
a flirtation with danger, an ode to unbridled curiosity
About letting go of certainties and embracing risks
About the explosive forces that life contains
about scars and the stories they leave behind on our skin
seven dancers make a pact, across generations,
that is sealed by live music
Start 7:30 pm
Location Grote Zaal
Duration 65 minutes
Language language no problem
25 March - 3 april
Lieve Stad,
Amsterdam is a city of many faces, literally, because we live here together with many different nationalities. Lieve Stad is about the city and all its inhabitants. This festival, a collaboration between ITA and Meervaart, is about bringing people together, in the city, in the theatre, in society. How do we live together and what stories do all individuals and groups carry with them? They all have their own stories, strengths and challenges. Showing these is the starting point of Lieve Stad.
