STROOM
During the theater season we program performances in various genres on Thursday evenings in the Philipszaal under the label STROOM.
Because the Parktheater is always in motion, for you and with you. Movement generates energy and we pass this on in the performances of STROOM. A movement for people full of ideas, critical eyes and curious natures. For people who have something to say. For makers who have something to say. Talented emerging and established theater makers explore the world, break through fixed frames of mind and try to bridge differences between people. Stories that can be told in performances that touch, grate and connect. At STROOM, you and I are part of the story.
After the performance you can talk to the maker during the Meet Up. What insights do you take with you? Do you go with the stroom or against it?
