Wunderland

Wunderland is the beating heart of Ruhrtriennale! Set under the water tower, nestled cosily between Pumpenhaus and Jahrhunderthalle, this striking pink structure designed by architect Olivier Goethals awaits you: children and adults alike. Starting off the Wunderland weekend on Friday evening you can witness rising literary local talents at Spoken Acts. On Saturday, things start heating up – fun and free Do-It-Yourself-Saturdays, workshops for big and small in the early afternoon and as the sun starts to set, regional musicians take the stage with Ruhr Diamonds. You may want to grab a bite to eat at Pumpenhaus, catch a show at Jahrhunderthalle, and return for the glorious Down The Rabbit Hole party. Renowned DJs from here and abroad take you along for a rhythmic ride – disco balls, neon lights, and summer drinks setting the mood.

Every Sunday we start the day with a Sunday Dancers workshop, for dancers at any level. Body activated? Great, it`s time to jump start the mind – at our discourse series Brave New Voices with significant authors, theorists and public figures. Or perhaps you join us later, at an afternoon Relaxed With ... where artists from our festival present an additional programme, this time in a setting attempting to cater also to accessibility needs of neurodivergent visitors. We invite you to linger a while longer – lounge chairs, refreshments, table tennis await you at Wunderland to close off the weekend.
