BIGFestival 2011-2023
From 2011 to 2023 Bornholm International Street Theater Festival – today called BIGFestival – took place on Bornholm.
The last two years, 2022 and 2023, Thomas Danielsen and Helene Høm from UNDREVAERKET organized the festival.
The festival was initiated by actor Niels-Peter Kløft from “Dansk Rakkerpak” – and was organised by volunteers through out the years: Niels-Peter Kløft himself, Jette Glavind Pedersen, Sanne Prag and Lene Kofoed from the local volunteer theatre organisation “Teaterforeningen Bornholm” and finally Thomas Danielsen and Helene Høm from “Undreværket” , also volunteer culture workers.
Many, many, many, many additional local helpers have made it possible to present several shows in several cities during 3 days every summer.
We are all very proud and happy to have brought a wide range of professional Danish and international theatre to Bornholm for 13 years: Theatre art, classic street theatre, modern contemporary circus, performance and modern dance – for an international audience of all ages and free of charge!
Since 2024 there has been no festival, since we could not find new people to take over.
Tak for en forrygende festival i 2023!
BIGFestival havde mere end 6000 tilskuere i år og (næsten) helt perfekt vejr til teater under åben himmel!
Tusind tak til alle skuespillere og artister, som tog rejsen til Bornholm og optrådte.
