The Children's Choice Awards are the Ruhrtriennale's self-intervention! A group of children will travel from city to city and from performance to performance. Music, theatre, dance, performance, and video: with the eyes of born experts and the openness of unprepared children, they will subject the contemporary art to critical examination. They will turn up at even the remotest venues at all hours, taking notes, making sketches, and putting their heads together: keep an eye out for the red carpet and give a round of applause for the incorruptible ones!
Don't miss out on the Awards Ceremony. The Ruhrtriennale and its artists submit themselves to the critical judgment of the jury: The show you want to see over and over? The coolest dancer? The best trick? The simply impossible hairdo? The worst snacks? The evening triggering the worst dreams? The moment that should never end?
Children's Choice Awards is part of No Education.
