concept & context
Bonkers Kidsrave is a mini club developed by Jonathan Cant, Laura Conant, Casimir Franken & Nikolas Lestaeghe. Parents are strictly not allowed. The Kidsrave offers children the opportunity to explore the adult world in a playful way. As a programmer, it is best to consider this mini club as a unique sound art installation rather than a performance for which tickets must be sold. The Bonkers Kidsrave works very well in a festival context. This installation also proves to be very valuable for young audiences as an accompaniment to a museum project.
