BRONKS & BOS+ | FOREST (8+)

Root drought, not-so-fine dust, aggressive-invasive species, rising moss costs, anti-pesticides, exploding nature tourism… The forest is boiling over! Blue tits only eat chips now, beavers are building a dam out of plastic bottles, and some squirrels are darting around like unguided missiles, fighting over a half-empty Capri Sun. Willie Wonders climate show tries to bring hope in these difficult times. The animals and plants sing and dance until they're sweating, but when even their own show is jeopardized by an outside threat, the animals break character. The musical sputters, the children's drawings growl back, the stuffed animals fight back. BOS is a forceful tragicomic theater performance op locatie. A search for a bright spot in the climate story. How can you tell something enriching about a theme that leaves no one untouched with a bunch of quirky animals, a load of absurd humor, and a lot of playing pleasure? IN THE PRESS "Can climate education still hit the mark? This hilarious fight between the theater animals and the rich for control over green space is a clever answer." - Wouter Hillaert, De Standaard ★★★★☆ The location will be announced later. Surprise!
