Baboró International Arts Festival for Children
2009
The
Baboró International Arts Festival for Children is Ireland's flagship international arts festival devoted exclusively to children and families. In 2009 they will celebrate 13 years of presenting a multidisciplinary arts festival to thousands of children in Ireland from their base in Galway.
This year it takes place from 12th until the 18th October with what is expected to be one of the most exciting line-ups ever with 13 companies and 13 venues to celebrate their 13th birthday! There’s mind-blowing dance from the Netherlands, a thrilling dark opera from Northern Ireland, a tearjerker from Denmark, a hilarious clown from Canada and a brilliant collection of music, comedy, theatre, visual arts, storytelling and puppetry from around Ireland. As a first for the festival, Baboró is hosting an international conference on the arts for early years. Baboró also brings the highest calibre workshops to youth groups in Galway city and county. This promises to be a landmark event for the arts for young people in Ireland.
