International
BonteHond is a Dutch theatregroup. But we’ve always been open to broadening our horizons, both mentally and physically. In the past we’ve toured internationally with productions like ‘Wanted: Rabbit’, ‘iPet’, ‘GET’M’ and ‘SUPERSLOW’ to countries like Belgium, India, The US, Turkey and Italy. Our current performance WAUW! is Language No Problem and therefore very suitable for both a young (2.5+) as well as an international audience.
About us
BonteHond makes bold and accessible theatre for all ages in theatres and at other exciting locations. Situated in the youngest city of the Netherlands; Almere, BonteHond performs in theatres, at festivals, schools and special (outdoor) locations throughout the Netherlands, Belgium and beyond. With a current average of three medium sized and small scale productions per year, its public activities and its own educational program KIDD, BonteHond also reaches people who are not yet familiar with arts and culture.
In addition to our touring productions we’ve shifted our international focus in the past few years more to durable connections in long term exchanges. Finding new ways to share inspiration, values, knowledge and expertise interculturally. A great way to develop artistically and allow cultural diversity to sink in even more deeply into the DNA of BonteHond.
Fun fact: ‘BonteHond’ is a name you could give to an eccentric person, an underdog who doesn’t fit in. Even more fun: the literal translation of ‘BonteHond’ is ‘Colourful Dog’.

WAUW! New show from March 2025
WAUW! is a musical performance with a lot of dance and shows the world through the eyes of toddlers and pre-schoolers. Because they think everything is ‘WAUW!’, even their own reflection in a store window. Adults can be easily annoyed by a falling plant pot for instance whereas young children are more interested in the earthworms that emerge. The world of adults is mostly black and white while children see much more color.
WAUW! shows that things that seem ordinary or even as a barrier are often much more interesting, exciting, and beautiful than we initially think. The WOW factor is almost always there if we look close enough.
