This year too, Into The Great Wide Open features a full program for the youngest visitors. Together with, among others, Jopie Kegel’s Sloopstation, De Bende van het Bos, and Filosoofje the podcast, we are transforming De Pukkel into a magical factory world. A place to run, play, fly, build, demolish, and wonder. For children and adults alike.
This year, the art program of Into The Great Wide Open revolves around the central theme of 'dis/order': about how chaos and disruption can make room for new ideas. This is also the guiding thread in the children's art program. A dozen artists and children's friends got to work with this and used disorder as fuel for their imagination.
The result? A magical factory in the forests of Vlieland, where the machines are running and the conveyor belt is at full speed - but nobody knows what will roll out of it. Here, children and adults play live Stratego together, you pay in 'flut' (rubbish) and you wipe your bottom with art. Curious about the full program? Discover it here.
