Glass Bead Theatre
English-language theatre in Amsterdam
It comes from the glass bead game described in the book of the same name by Hermann Hesse. Players use combinations of symbols from music, philosophy, science and history to explore and link ideas together, aiming to build a harmonious "constellation".
This is the kind of theatre we aim to create: daring, curious, experimental. Linking the past and the present, looking for new meaning and exploring emotion. Putting together a transient performance that can leave a lasting imprint in both creators and audience.
Theatre enthusiasts with diverse backgrounds, experiences and personalities, we are somewhat like glass beads ourselves, now embarking on a journey to create beautiful and truthful things together.
