Bostheater

Music and theatre in an intimate setting

Among the trees of Formerumerbos, you’ll encounter makers with their own unique voice, sharp humour, and performances that can unexpectedly shift: from absurd to painfully honest, from intimate to ecstatic. In this natural amphitheatre, you are right up close to the action.

Oerol 2026

This year, you’ll experience musical rituals, theatrical experiments and personal stories that linger long after the performance ends. From ecstatic birthday raves and performances about anger, loss and inner demons, to bizarre puppet worlds, literary feats and intimate monologues that can unexpectedly hit hard.

The Forest Theatre is a free space for makers who dare to explore and for audiences who enjoy being surprised.
