Insider Tip:

The interactive storytelling theatre "E roude Fuedem duerch de roude Buedem" by Maskénada - inspired among others by Mil Goerens' repertoire "Eiser Soen" - takes you on a storytelling journey through the "Beetebuerger Bësch" forest.

As every year, our young audience will also be highly entertained. Behind the name "Curieuse nature - Droleg Natuur" is a live accompaniment with special instruments to animated films.
