In the heart of Amsterdam's Dapper Market, a remarkable performance titled "Obstrat" unfolds as one of the last shows of Amsterdam Fringe. This site-specific theater piece by Markt Theatre delves into the lives of the homeless, inspired by their stories.

The company of four, through their fine voices and a captivating violin, create an immersive experience. The backdrop, decorated with colored newspapers and bursting curtains, adds a vibrant touch to the poignant tales shared.

With elements of slapstick humor and a welcoming atmosphere, the performance engages the audience deeply, fostering a sense of community. The show transcends cultural tourism, allowing everyone to participate freely and feel united in the shared narrative.

Highlighting issues like urbanization and gentrification, "op straat" raises important questions about homelessness and city life. The performance concludes with a communal chorus, leaving a lasting impact and a sense of hope.

Although Amsterdam Fringe has ended, "op straat" continues its journey through October. For more details on upcoming performances, visit Markt Theatre's website. This powerful work promises to reconnect with audiences, celebrating stories larger than our own.
