The international festival offers a wide range of theatre, dance, visual arts and much more. Tweetakt is aimed at children, young adults and adults who want to experience how appealing and fulfilling youth art can be. The programme is now on <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cm.to\/BvXQgpNh\"><strong>tweetakt.co.uk<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, Theatre Kikker is once again the festival heart in the city centre and the meeting place for theatre makers and festival visitors.

The fort is open to the public only during Tweetakt. Here, Tweetakt presents visual arts and theatre performances for young and old, there are workshops and all kinds of games. In and around the fort there is a real festival atmosphere and of course you can also get a bite to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Premiers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, a large number of performances will premiere at Festival Tweetakt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cm.to\/54qWfcAQ\">Op\u00e9ra Punk<\/a> by Brut Movement where audiences go from opera to ferocious punk theatre - 5 June \/ 8pm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cm.to\/pvaOBgoU\">Bridge builders<\/a> at which The World Repairing welcomes everyone to the yard where a new city is under construction - 5 June \/ 12:30 - 17:30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cm.to\/J0MEDxsV\">Antes de...<\/a> Company Tea Tree &amp; Bronks interweaves dance and acrobatics in a poetic toddler performance - 14 June \/ 15.00<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At <a href=\"https:\/\/cm.to\/VSMRcJkM\">Lava Forest<\/a> by Ingri Fiksdal strange, limp creatures crawl up from a pile of coloured rags and stuffed fabric - 14 June \/ 12.00 pm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cm.to\/54qWfcUX\">Fest<\/a>by Zonzo Company is a music party that children (and adults who come along) will be sucked into from start to finish - 6 June \/ 2pm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At <a href=\"https:\/\/cm.to\/fhpVBZAO\">Spiel im Spiel<\/a> by Ceren Oran Three dancers go all out in a game of \u2018the floor is lava\u2019 - 6 June \/ 1pm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cm.to\/pvaOBgKg\">The terrified disco ball<\/a> by Mats Hoogland is a theatrically funky song programme about wanting to make yourself small.
