About listening with your heart and never truly being alone. About growing and aging, and knowing when it’s time to go.

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Yuto. With headphones on, you will be transported into the story of a special friendship between a boy and a tree. Explore a constantly changing labyrinth filled with puppets, shadows, and magical realms. The interactive installation Yuto & The Tree is based on the award-winning picture book Ik geef je mijn hart by Pimm van Hest and Sassafras de Bruyn.

The Story

Little Yuto receives a box from an old man. "Inside is everything you need," he says. But the box won’t open. The day before his seventh birthday, Yuto dreams of the old man. When he wakes up, the box is open, and Yuto finds a heart-shaped seed. He plants the seed, and a small tree grows. Together, they grow up. It’s a story about listening with your heart and never truly being alone. About growing and aging, and knowing when it’s time to go.
