ARRELS: Play, Wonder, and Joint Discoveries in the Garden of Remembrance
On May 16, 2026, ARRELS invites families in Duisburg to an interactive installation by the Catalan company Toc de Fusta. The format is designed as a playful experience for the whole family and combines movement, curiosity, and cultural diversity into a lively family time. The city of Duisburg announces the Children's Culture Festival starting May 16, 2026, as a large, partly free offering with participatory actions and interactive formats.

A Family Experience That Immediately Engages Children
ARRELS features 16 large play structures that draw from traditions from around the world and translate them into an intuitive, free play experience. Toc de Fusta describes the installation as a space where cultural roots, history, and character of various traditions become tangible through shared activities. This is precisely what makes the offering so exciting for families: children explore with their hands, eyes, and all their senses, while adults accompany them in a relaxed manner, creating learning fun without pressure.

Child-Friendly, Open, and Full of Movement
The installation is designed for an open play approach. According to Toc de Fusta, ARRELS requires a flat area of about 300 square meters and is designed for a large van. This speaks for a generous, well-structured format with plenty of space for families and groups. For children, this means: experimenting, observing, comparing, and finding their own ways.
