De jongensdroom

Documentary, 2015, 70 min.

For 25 years, kinetic artist Theo Jansen has been chasing an impossible dream. 'I create a new nature, I give the world a new species.' From PVC pipes, tiewraps and sails, he constructs ‘strandbeesten’ (beach beasts) that are built to survive him. The latter is still a problem, however, and he doesn’t like it at all. Meanwhile, with the help of an American museum curator and a photographer, he tries to conquer America. Perhaps, Dutch museums will finally take him seriously too then. How far will this fairytale stretch?
