QUEERING PUPPETS FESTIVAL AMSTERDAM gives the stage to genre-transcending forms of visual theatre and puppetry.

Culture brings people together, and this often starts in one's own municipality. Unfortunately, in more and more municipalities, less and less money is available for basic cultural facilities, such as the library, amateur associations and cultural centres.
