TheRevolutionary Theatre is a non-profit project which brings
together musicians and creative people from adjacent fields (artwork, video,
audio and web design, etc.), who express their musical and cultural
diversity in jointly producing a record.
Although focused on the creative project rather than on a "mission",
the Revolutionary Theatre frequently points to social and political
wrong. Its powerful and positive soul music wants to reach people in the
whole world.
The idea of the Revolutionary Theatre was conceived by its founder and
musical director Piet Shaw while talking to the founder of the Theatre
du Soleil in Paris: "Her unshakeable belief in art made me realize how
much you can achieve with little means if only you want to and if you
are truly convinced of it."
This conviction is at the heart of the Revolutionary Theatre. It makes
something great come true without large financial means and massive
equipment, solely through the dedication, energy and belief of all those
involved.
Piet Shaw would like to express his deeply felt gratitude for the
dedication of all those who have played a part in the Revolutionary Theatre
up to now.
You know who you are!
