LiteSide festival - Oriental Underground in Europe has the goal of sending out a positive message into the world showing the beauty and capacity for innovation of European artists using the culture from Islamic countries combined with the Western. A variety of artists and performers show 'cutting edge' work where West meets East. These artists have been chosen because their work reflects their 'origins' in an Islamic culture combined with the Western cultures that they live in creating a new urban’ expression that we all relate to. We use the word 'oriental' instead of 'Muslim' to underline that we are referring to art forms and culture and not religion.

We present a national and international programme in the fields of music, dance and other performing arts disciplines. We work for different audience groups in and around The Hague, including the expat community. Cultral diversity is one of our priorities.
