Especially for the Tour de France Famme, Rotterdam Circusstad comes to the museum harbor with two companies: Duo Kaos with the act Time to Loop, an act with bicycles and Fenja with the act Cyrrealism, an act with a large Cyr wheel in which they perform extraordinary and shows tricks that appeal to the imagination.

O. Festival presents the eco-feminist punk band Herr Hamsterfleisch from Club Gewalt, which guarantees a great experience with hard punk songs and lyrical rock ballads: a powerful message of courage and emancipation.

Herr Hamsterfleisch pays tribute to the woman who is difficult to love with hard punk songs and lyrical rock ballads. To the old woman. The single woman. The unattractive woman. The disobedient woman. The woman picking mushrooms and drinking herbs. The woman who lives with the moon. An ode to women.

The Cyrwheel is a metal ring consisting of separate pieces that are usually screwed together tightly. Fenja uses her device without the screws, making it wobbly and unstable, questioning its perfection. Thus her wheel becomes a completely different device: Sometimes strangely curved, sometimes nimble as a snake and sometimes shattered into its individual pieces. The wheel is a metaphor for the imperfections of life and represents new perspectives that lead to beauty. 

There will be enchanting calm moments, satisfying rhythms in movement, beautifully stunning technique and a poetic relationship between the object(s) and the performer.

Our museum café is open for coffee, tea, anniversary apple pie (for only €1.50) or a delicious lunch. Would you rather have something sweet? Ice cream parlor Loeve is also open and, in addition to award-winning ice cream, also offers pastries or a glass of wine.
