Dancers from plan d on stage during BOUT!, surrounded by pipes and DIY tools.

What happens when the water pipes burst, the power goes out and the washing machine breaks down? In BOUT! (6+) by the dance company plan d-, a major renovation nightmare is transformed into a cheerful and musical dance performance for children aged 6 and over. During the No Limits Festival at Theater aan het Spui in The Hague, it’s all about building, moving, working together and, above all, having lots of fun.

A cheerful family show full of dance, music and audience participation

Things are going wrong everywhere. Water is gushing from the pipes, drains are blocked and the electricity has gone out. Luckily, the dancers are on hand to fix everything. But they can’t do it on their own! The audience is invited to help with sawing, drilling, gluing and connecting pipes. Meanwhile, the sounds of tools and pipes create surprising music to which everyone dances to their heart’s content.

BOUT! is no ordinary dance performance. Children become part of the story themselves and help the dancers sort out the chaos of the DIY project. With comical situations, unusual sounds and creative dance moves, an interactive theatre experience unfolds in which imagination and teamwork take centre stage.

The production was created by choreographer Andreas Denk of the dance company plan d and was nominated for the VSCD Jonge Zwaan 2025, the award for the most impressive youth dance production. A festive performance in which dance, theatre and music come together in a surprising way.
