Wagon play

The actors arrive at the party by horse and cart and immediately grab everyone's attention. As modern troubadours - in the footsteps of their medieval predecessors - they sing about the seasons, life, love, and the village itself. In three parts, they take you on a special journey: a first section about death, a wonderful miracle play, and a finale in which you come home to a local myth. Expect a lively mix of theater, music, and humor, with a touch of acrobatics, singing together, and a good dose of pleasant madness. The 'Wagenspel' breathes new life into an age-old tradition and turns it into a contemporary celebration: laughing, singing, dreaming, and being moved together... in the middle of the village. Local talent jumps on the cart. What makes this project extra special is the strong local contribution. The cart is not only the set, but also an open stage. Between the professional acts, local associations and artists are given the space to participate and shape the party. Bierbeek also gets the scoop: the traveling Wagenspel premieres here. Come and see! Let's celebrate together.
