Parents not allowed!”
says a bouncer at the door,
‘this club is for children only’.
(adults simply don’t fit in with their big bodies)
Pounding beats can be heard outside and steam escapes through the cracks.
Little party animals break free from parental authority for the first time.
Welcome to Bonkers Kidsrave, a nomadic club for partygoers aged 5 and up. Installation, nightclub, theatrical experience and online radio: Bonkers Kidsrave is all of these things. But above all, it is a playful exploration of the adult world and learning to let go. Inside, experimental gabber music, compelling Eurodance and numbing dub blast through the speakers. Smoke and bubble machines are running at full speed. Too wild? Don’t worry: interactive elements help young ravers find their own rhythm in a world created especially for them.
Musically, there are no compromises because the DJs are all professionals. The line-up for the day can be found at the club and on Bonkers Kidsrave’s social media. But the party doesn’t stop there: each DJ set is uploaded to the online platform bonkers-kidsrave.be so that the party can continue at home, this time with the parents joining in.
