All That is Wrong

Springfestival assembles world-class theater for children from all over the world. But this year, unpredictable performance art collective Ontroerend Goed and multisensory children's theatre company Laika will perform a work at the festival that's recommended for those older than 16.

All That is Wrong deals with the modern coming of age. In the first two, performer Koba Ryckewaert was a child. But now she is 18… with all of the worries that come with growing up. It's easier not to talk about them, though. 

Instead, she writes about them – on the floor and walls of the theatre. Experience the end of childhood for yourself, live.
