KABOOM: THE ART OF DESTRUCTION
LIVE ART DENMARK
SAT 25 + SUN 26 | COUNCIL CHAMBER, TOWN HALL
This explosive 45-minute adventure storms into Ipswich this October half-term!
When is it right to destroy something?
How do you do it well?
And could smashing something old be the only way to create something new?
To find out, you’re invited to recreate 18 famous acts of artistic destruction and create some chaos of your own.
Drown plaster busts, smash guitars, and graffiti old masterpieces in this interactive show for the whole family!
KABOOM: The Art of Destruction is made by the same team that brought the sell-out 50 Dangerous Things (You Should Let Your Children Do) to SPILL in 2023. You will not want to miss their return.
“Delightful and uplifting.”
— Teateravisen, 2022
“Fun and entertaining - children’s theatre and performative study in a perfect combination!”
