A performance for shy little dancers.

The schrit_tmacher Family Day is all about the (living) world of children and their (grand)parents. That day, dance for all ages, from babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers to (young) adults, can be seen in Theater Heerlen. With fun workshops, surprising performances and lots of dance in the theatre's foyer. The schrit_tmacher Family Day is a big dance party for everyone. Toddlers and preschoolers from 3 years old can dance along with BALBALLOONA.

Stretch, blow up, float, connect and smash!

In BALBALLOONA, three dancers meet on stage. At first, shyness and uncertainty fill the air until balloons change the mood. The balloons symbolise change. They accompany the dancers' journey from distance to contact, from separation to togetherness. Thus BALABALLONA playfully creates contact and connection, and in the end everyone dances along with this performance.

The schrit_tmacher Family Day has become a much-loved tradition within the festival. This year, the day will take place on Sunday 7 March 2027 at Theater Heerlen. Between 10:00 & 17:00, families can enjoy inspiring dance performances, participate in dance & creative workshops and other activities.

You do not need a ticket to visit the fringe programming. So all families can make their steps to the theatre full of dance.
