You are standing in front of a gigantic wall. Nobody knows what is on the other side. A sign reads: Entry forbidden to anyone who is not constantly amazed.
Suppose you accidentally step on the Jagged Stones. In a Scorching Desert you have to sacrifice a finger in exchange for a swig… What do you do?
Aventuras is an interactive carousel in which the participants face a succession of challenging choices. A journey through bizarre worlds that tests your courage to the full. An encounter with elusive creatures that encourage you to stay the course.
Laika and Prado - Associação Cultural are joining forces to make a mobile, sensory installation inspired by fantastic images and texts from Aventuras de João sem Medo by the Portuguese author José Gomes Ferreira. There will be both a Dutch and a Portuguese version of Aventuras.
Aventuras won the award for 'best performance children's jury Krokusfestival 2024'.
