World-class acrobatics and street culture from the Ruhr region and northern Limburg each other in a spectacular show for young and old! Together, they bring the energy of the street to the stage. This results in a unique fusion between urban disciplines such as BMX freestyle, freerunning, tricking, breakdance, hip-hop dance and music, spoken word, street art and exceptional acts from the international circus world. There are more than 50 top talents on stage. The joy of creating together radiates from them. An unforgettable experience for both the participating talents and the audience.

URBANATIX has been producing large show productions like this for more than 14 years, attracting tens of thousands of visitors from the Ruhr region every year. They are now also coming to the Netherlands for the first time. For STREET CULTURE VENLO, this co-production is the next step in its quest to further strengthen local urban sports and culture and give it a Euroregional stage. Maaspoort brings this performance especially in the context of its 40th anniversary and its own ambition to provide a making space for emerging talent in the Euroregion.

The artistic direction is in the hands of Christian Eggert, initiator and director of URBANATIX. He works together with a creative team of NEW HELDEN NEXT LEVEL consisting of Jose Verhaegh and Aletta Smit and an occasional formation of Brohlin Coumans, Kenji Hendriks and Lotte Slangen (MADOUX). Other talents involved from North Limburg include: dance group ROGUE from URBAN DANCE STUDIO from Venlo, break dancers from STARDUST from Weert, freerunners Koen Heijnen and Finn Bouwens from MINDED MOTION, Jesse Heffels (tricking), and Sem Kok together with Sietse en Berkel (BMX freestyle). Participating artists from URBANATIX include: Natalia Nowakowski & dance crew (dance choreography), Sebastian Gies & freerunning crew (parkour choreography), Sebastian Maier & band (musical direction), Jana Januschewski-Moze (costumes), and the soloists: Robeat (Beatbox), Florian Zumkehr (Handbalance), Fenja Barteldres (Cyrrealismus), Oskar Skrypko (Vertical Pole) and Manda (Aerial Hoop).

The show forms the main act of the URBAN SUMMER FESTIVAL 2024, which will take place in and around Maaspoort this year. With this fourth festival edition, organiser Street Culture Venlo is giving more attention than before to urban performing arts and storytelling. Like previous editions, however, there will also be a breakdance battle, a freerunning course, a BMX street jam and more, with emerging and established talent from across the region. check the latest updates on the programme at.
