From 2011 to 2023 Bornholm International Street Theater Festival  – BIGFestival – took place on the Danish island Bornholm.

For 13 years the festival –  initiated by Niels-Peter Kløft and Jette Glavind Pedersen – was organised by volunteers.

We are very proud and happy to have brought a wide range of professional Danish and international theatre to Bornholm for 12 years (with a COVID break in 2019): 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.

Volunteer festival organizers through out the years:  Niels-Peter Kløft from “Dansk Rakkerpak”, Jette Glavind Pedersen, Sanne Prag and  Lene Kofod fra “Teaterforeningen Bornholm”, Thomas Danielsen and Helene Høm from “Undreværket” – and many, many, many, many local helpers!
