Art on Airport Eindhoven by world champion breakdance crew The Ruggeds and artist Tijs Rooijakkers
Breakdancing on empty landing strip
In the summer of 2020 I worked with the world champion breakdance crew The Ruggeds. Our goal: to capture their moves and vibe in an art installation. Covid-19 also cooperated in a weird way and offered us a one in a million opportunity: no planes landed at Eindhoven Airport during the week of our film shoot. So we could film everything at the airport. Watch the clip!
The Ruggeds
World Champions breaking crew from Eindhoven, The Ruggeds have from an early age developed from street culture to a group with its own theater language. They bring together their different experiences in performing, choreographing, organizing events, producing and acting, in order to create a positive synergy. Check out The Ruggeds here.

Eindhoven Airport is proud of the region, which is rich in tales and stories. Together with Van Abbemuseum they offer passengers and visitors a unique insight into the distinctive part of Eindhoven when it comes to technology, design and knowledge. Together they want to share the energy of the city, whether you are arriving or departing. The renowned Dutch designer Piet-Hein Eek designed the three enormous showcase boxes. Feel the vibe at Eindhoven Airport.
