THE REVIEW


Since 2008 Wunderbar has been bringing artists and audiences together on journeys of intrigue and wonder. Here’s the story so far. December 2015



Wunderbar Process

Wunderbar projects bring audiences and artists together on journeys of intrigue and wonder

Our projects are conceived and guided by artists

Our audiences are always active participants in the experience


We like to be playful and disrupt the status quo We are curious about what happens once our projects are let loose on the world

How we make our projects is as important as what we make

We hope to inspire, challenge and nurture new ways to work, think and play
