"De Familie Sax" - De Zeeuwse Concertzaal, Middelburg March 15th 2026, 15:30h

Stel je voor: saxofoons die met elkaar praten, huilen, lachen, en een heuse familie vormen, variërend van de mopperige opa bassax tot het schattige kleintje schuifsax. Maak kennis met de unieke en tegelijkertijd zo herkenbare Familie Sax die binnenkort gaat verhuizen! Temidden van tientallen verhuisdozen nemen de gezinsleden met een zweem van verdriet afscheid van het oude en vertrouwde, om samen warme herinneringen op te halen. Soms angstig voor het nieuwe, dan weer het nieuwe avontuur met open armen ontvangend.

Te midden van de hectiek van de verhuizing is er altijd ruimte voor magie, via de betoverende projecties van Jurjen Alkema die de Familie Sax en hun leefwereld tot leven brengen. Laat de saxofoons je meenemen op een betoverende reis, waarin dagdromen werkelijkheid worden.

Vanaf 4+
