Teatro Munganga is a theatre group that was founded in 1987 by Cris de Castro, Marcia Normande, Cláudia Maoli and Carlos Lagoeiro. Maoli and Lagoeiro have been the artistic directors since 1997. In June of 2013, we have launched a traveling theatre bus named Busganga. In 2014 the doors of Casa Munganga were opened, a small theatre hall in the southern part of Amsterdam.

Teatro Munganga’s mission:

• To stimulate and develop creative manifestations that let us reflect on the world in which we live in.
• To create a platform for dialog and the exchange of ideas
• To facilitate an international network of art and artistic productions

In addition to presenting our own performances (performances and social projects), the theater group offers a stage for theatre, music, lectures, films, dance, workshops and courses by other artists in the Casa Munganga theater. The activities are intended for all ages. A place were art, culture, education and entertainment together here.

BUSGANGA

THE THEATRE ON WHEELS

Our painted bus is decorated like a real theatre: with a stage, a grandstand, light, sound, room for 30 spectators and even a red theater curtain. In this special touring theater, Teatro Munganga presents performances for various target groups.

The performance ‘Piet and the brother of the moon’ (3+) will be performed in 2015/2016 in the Busganga.

A visual youth theatre performance with dolls, music and an actor, but without words. The story is about Piet the clown and his goal to let people enjoy. One night the weather changes and suddenly something falls into Piet’s suitcase. This sudden event makes him decide to go on a trip. He and his suitcase go together to find the land that will bring them closer to the moon; a country that is not on the map. Piet does not know the way, luckily the fish, birds and many other animals help him find the way.
