Neumünster Abbey (neimënster) has announced that it is hosting the third edition of the Big Bang Festival on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 July 2023.
The Big Bang Festival will turn everyday life upside down to transform the neimënster site into a land of discovery and games for children (aged five and up) and for people of all ages on this weekend.
Created by Wouter van Looy and the Belgian Zonzo company, the Big Bang Festival invades nineteen cultural centres throughout Europe and Canada each year.
Big Bang productions are music performances for young audiences that aim to innovate and push the boundaries of the genre. The festival brings together musicians, filmmakers, videographers and others that create new universes through interactive shows, poetic pieces, visual concerts and sound installations.
The programme (subject to schedule changes) will feature, among others:
- Big Bang Youth Ensemble
- Poetics of the unstable
- The window shutter carousel (a flying carpet experience)
- Recital for abandoned objects (a mad scientist gives new life to old objects, playing music on unlikely instrument-turned mundane items)
- El Loren! (created in Madrid, a fully recycled “drum set” made from various items)
- Berlinde Deman & Sabien Clement (playing the serpent, a rare, low-pitched early brass instrument developed in the Renaissance era)
The shows will take place on the entire site from 11:00. Tickets cost €15, €9 (reduced fee) or €1.50 with a Kulturpass.
Further information, including registration details, is available at neimenster.lu.
