BLOOMING GROND invites you to reconnect with the pulse of nature and community as we welcome the Spring. The programme brings together different ways of resilience, rebirth, and collectiveness through performances, installations, and workshops. Dive into a dynamic program where image, food, sound, and movement blur boundaries, bringing us together in organic, ever-evolving experiences. Join us as we celebrate alternative ways of being and creating, nurturing the seeds of tomorrow—together.

We start with a workshop for children that combines storytelling, performance and drawing and we finish with a collective performance and closing party. In between there will be a range of experiences happening. Feel free to spend a full afternoon and evening with us or just pop in for an hour. 

Line up:
Andrea Elera, Dominique Chabot, Ivo Bol, Jasna Veličković Judith Baten, Marc Nukoop, Mazen Al Ashkar, Nicolás Conde, Quartier Mustache, Ramon Smit, Wytze Minne de Swart, Seijiro Murayama (guest), Roger Fähndrich (guest), Pau Sola (guest)
