Taming of the Shrew

Julie Schoorl
The new theater company Pandora’s Doos presents one of Shakespeare’s most controversial plays: The Taming of the Shrew. The production centers on the "taming" of a woman, a theme that demands critical reflection in the 21st century. The performance explores the play’s meaning, irony, and contemporary relevance, and experiments with role reversal: what if the men are tamed instead?The show takes place at Jungle Amsterdam (formerly Muiderpoorttheater). After the performance, there will be an opportunity for discussion and dancing.

The Amarte Foundation was founded by a number of individuals and their families who share a deep love for the arts. They wish to support the development of creatives and talent in arts and culture by providing financial means and where possible coaching, knowledge and experience. Artists who are active in the cultural sectors of the Netherlands or the ABC and SSS islands (the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands) can apply to Amarte for the support of projects in the field of theatre, film, music, visual arts and literature, as well as interdisciplinary projects.
