THE SPULLENMEN
THEATRE, INSTALLATIONS, VISUAL ART AND PURPOSELESS CONTRAPTIONS
interactive exhibition
The Tweak Show
A fascinating mix of a sciencemuseum, a fairy tale and an escaperoom.
What do coelenterates and wallpaper have in common? Or: what exactly is a coelenterate and do they understand the art of wallpaperdesign? Who has ever engaged in a proper dialogue with a floor lamp? Is there a good word for that? In the Tweak Show the strangest of questions are all too common. Get lost in this maze full of interactive wonder. Fear is for Sissies, and... please do touch!Since 2008 De Spullenmannen have been working on a steadily expanding series of contraptions that explore the boundaries between art and science. Every so now and then the audience is offered a peek inside and a chance to try out the latest installations. After touring museums, festivals, rivers and elderly homes in various countries the Tweak Show now gets a permanent home in Amersfoort. A travelling edition of the Tweak Show is also suitable for children.
