Kingfisher Into the Woods Festival

Highlight • Monument

The Amersfoort festival Into the Woods unveiled the artwork made for the Birkhoven forest last Friday. It is an annual tradition to enrich the forest with a work of art. In addition to the regular collaboration and agreements between Into the Woods and Utrechts Landschap, the festival is happy to return the favor in kind. In this way the close collaboration between the festival and Utrechts Landschap is celebrated.
The work of art called KINGSBIRD, is built of steel and 'rises' from the forest pond. It was created by the artist collective Koude Koffie: Richard van de Kamp and Erik Jansen. They have been building sets for Into the Woods since the beginning of the festival 10 years ago.
