Children's Concert: Robot van de rommelmarkt (9+, Dutch spoken)

A New Robot Friend

During the time in which Edu Janssen lives, you don't have to do anything yourself anymore. Robots take care of everything. A machine can read you stories, your mathematics teacher is a machine, and at home you have a robot to do chores and your homework. When Edu's home robot stops working, he buys a rusty, dented replacement at a flea market. This is the start of a special friendship.

'De robot van de rommelmarkt' is an ambitious, musical crossover production by robot artist Bram Ellens. He combines live music, visuals, play and robotics for a revolutionary performance. The story tries to find humanity in a being made of screws and bolts, and the humanity in us all. Dare to look into the future, and come see the performance. With robot Kuka KR10 as 'bob'.

Based on the novel 'De robot van de rommelmarkt' by Tonke Dragt.

Breathtaking music and stories that challenge children to listen, to look, to sing and to participate.
