It’s Alive! Show
120 minutes
A messy evening about physicality, for creators, viewers and characters. Expect live animators, absurd questions, and pre-show sock puppet making in the Kaboom Lounge!
Kaboomer Mathijs Stegink presents a fun, messy and warm evening about physicality in animation culture. Too philosophical? Here’s what we actually do: watch films, play an absurd quiz about objects with souls, watch live animators, and interview animators about creating life. Before the show starts, make your own sock puppet in the Kaboom Lounge!
This program screened as part of Kaboom Animation Festival 2026
