In December you'll find him all over the streets: Santa Claus. This Santa Claus makes everyone watch in amazement and is an experience for young and old!

You can also book Santa Claus as a statue.... With a bell in one hand and a package in the other, he stands where he likes to stand: in a chimney. Every time children pass by, Santa will make himself heard.

He also always brings a basket full of candy. So the children will certainly be happy about Santa's arrival.... We wish you a happy (and agile) Christmas in advance!

You can choose between a Santa in true colors and a stone Santa! That's how to prevent this childhood friend from running into himself at a Christmas market....

The living statue also has a name and is called Patrick van Horne. He is past 30 and a teacher by profession. This educational background makes it easy for him to stand in front of groups and animate them. Patrick has been doing animation since 2000, first as a clown, later on statues and walking acts were added. Patrick on his motivation:

"Acting and animating is in your blood, it always gives a kick to bring a successful act. I regularly try out new ideas, which is how the living statue came into being. That seems easy, but it's more subtle and measured work. You want to interact with your audience, so you have to feel it perfectly."

In 2012, Patrick decided to quit as clown Patje in order to put enough energy into his living statues and walking acts. Since then, Patrick has proven that he has earned his spurs. With the living statue of the textile tutor he won the Belgian championship in 2008 and became 2nd at the BeNeLux championship in Lommel the same year. The act 'I wood be (a statue)' also won prizes: in April 2014 Patrick won with this act the festival Borne op z'n Best (Nl.) as well as a third place at the living statue festival in Tegelen (Nl.). After that I Wood be a statue became first in Den Bosch, in Maastricht and Belgian champion living statue 2014. As icing on the cake, I Wood Be a Statue was allowed to walk away with a 2nd prize at Worldstatues 2014 in Arnhem.

In 2015 Patrick succeeded himself as Belgian champion with the act 'His past, mining past'. He was not only named the best Belgian statue, but also won the first prize of all participating statues.
