A special Explodium Outdoors edition
Explodium stands for exploration on stage and offers young makers the chance to develop and present their own work. This year, the stage moves outdoors amidst the greenery in Erasmus Park. During the Explodium program (March-May), participants further developed their own work and concepts through inspiring workshops; new material emerged both individually and collectively.
This year, the ExploreZ Festival is enriched with not one, but two editions of Explodium! Read more here about the first edition of Explodium Outdoors at Tolhuistuin, focusing on cultural identity and culinary stories!
