The Ruggeds are back! Following the overwhelming success of GROOVE, the breaking legends are now bringing their own festival to the theater in the form of a brand-new production: Jams & Gems: On Tour. Get ready for an evening where we celebrate movement: filled with captivating music, sensational dance, and inexplicably rare beauty on stage. These gems were discovered on our adventures around the world. From the block parties in New York to the Street Culture in Japan: as treasure hunters, we were at the best jams and collected the wildest gems. We share them annually at the Jams & Gems Festival and now we're bringing them to you too!

Jams & Gems: On Tour


What can you expect? From the theatre hall, you will be taken on an unforgettable journey across the festival grounds. 'Three is the Magic Number', so we will make 3 stops along the way: swaying to the rhythm of the music, poetic texts transforming into harmonious sounds, and experiencing dance resonating all the way to the back rows.

Don't just be a spectator, but also a participant in this evening. Expect a sonic sensation of diverse rhythms and be surprised by the unexpected, organic transitions that The Ruggeds are known for. In short, an evening full of surprises and discoveries. Bring your favourite people out of their daily routine and take them to this innovative theatre experience!
