The music ranges from singer-songwriter and rock to dance. And if there is nothing to be heard for a while that you like, you can watch short films, theater performances and exhibitions.

Special is the Design Drama project: a collaboration between theater makers, musicians and designers, accompanied by theater and film club Plaza Futura. By means of a speed date session they have been brought together in eight duos and have subsequently set to work so as to put together a surprising act. The idea is for the audience to be caught off guard by these duos all over the festival grounds. For now the organizers cannot divulge anything about the acts, because more than a week before the festival the creative brains are still brooding over how to dot the i’s and cross the t’s.

What else can you expect? A selection: shards during the performance ‘Kapot Maken’ by theater company Krabben, about the destructive inclinations of homo sapiens; the popular Flemish rock formation (from glam to garage) The Van Jets; work by young designers in the TAC Etalage and at night you can live it out on the very summery beats of Sonido del Principe.

Thanks to its broad programming the free festival usually manages to attract a varied audience. Students, people in their thirties, parents with children, culture lovers or accidental passers-by - they all feel at home. Even your grandmother will be welcome. Whether she will like it is another matter altogether. (SK)/.
