FLOCK FESTIVAL

Join the Flock Festival for its second edition, the summery festival with some of the best improvised theatre you have ever seen! ☀️

From 23-29th of June, we will have a 7-day theatre festival in Amsterdam-Noord where you can enjoy shows, workshops and more from fabulous international and local improvisers.

Come join us for 1, or more days of magnificent shows, inspiring workshops and fun hangouts with great people from all over the world.

Check the festival website for info and tickets www.flock-festival.com

Your ticket gives you access to all shows of the evening, with the exception of guest show ‘Parcas’ that requires a separate booking because of the limited seating. If you book your ticket for the main shows at the same time as the Parcas show, you will get a 5€ discount.

Program for Saturday:

• Treehouse Unscripted

The cast of the Flock Festival is up for a new challenge.

Devising, creating, and rehearsing a brand new show in only a day, using Treehouse as a whole as a location for the performance.

The show will therefore not happen in a classic theatre setting, but you will be guided to where the show is happening by the organisation on the day itself.

The meeting point is still in the Pavilion at the start of the show. Be on time not to get lost!

Performers: Gerit Scholz, Thom Roelofs, Ali James, Amel Amziane, Tanine Dunais, Laura Doorneweerd-Perry, Diego Ingold

• An Imam, a Priest and an Atheist walk into a bar

by Rae Dowling

Every new generation of human beings on this planet believes that we understand the universe better than anyone who came before us. And we call these beliefs religion, science, magic. But isn’t the wisest generation the one that knows it knows nothing at all? Three improvisers—raised Muslim, Christian, Atheist—set out to clear this up once and for all.

Finally, a show which made me cry—An Imam, A Priest, and an Athiest Walk into
a Bar. Tanine, Chris, and Gael have all been raised very differently, so what happens when they play together and bring their experiences authentically to their performance is beautiful, vulnerable moments woven between impeccable scenes. It really moved me.

• Pre-show (18:30 in the Flock Studio):

• Musical Jam – Live radio show

A live radio show, hosted by our incredibly sound improviser Emil Struijker Boudier. Discover your favorite new banger, and if you are nice, he might even take a song request.

• Late show (22:15 in the Flock Studio):

• Parcas

Be aware: As this show is programmed in the cozy Flock Theatre studio, this show has a very limited stock of tickets that you need to book separately.

They are utterly eternal. They are pretty raw. They are awfully silly. They are PARCAS.

These creatures have been observing humans through time, yet they keep wondering: why does humanity do what it does?

Today, you have been summoned to take part in a game that will answer this question. Be kind and help the PARCAS understand concepts such as faith, corruption, or hair removal, as they reverse reality humorously and ironically, from the small things of daily life to the great conventions and power dynamics that rule the world.

If you find yourself summoned, just follow these simple rules: listen, answer, and obey the PARCAS.
