Some are also spoken in English. The relaxing moment is free to experience for everyone aged 6 and above.

"What does a person need to fully come to himself and reflect on his life? Designer Arjan Kruidhof asked himself this question and built the Relaxerette. Lie back in a hammock and watch the clouds pass by. Soon the noise of everyday life will fade away and you will slowly sink into a completely different place. Put on the headphones and close your eyes. You will experience a dreamy moment, listening to stories and sounds that will quiet your mind for a while. The Relaxerette has previously performed at Oerol, Noorderzon, Madness Ameland, Deventer op Stelten, De Karavaan and various festivals abroad.

ABOUT THE MAKER
