Wagon play [premiere]

The actors arrive at the party by horse and cart, immediately drawing everyone's attention. As modern troubadours - following 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 wondrous miracle play, and a finale where you find yourself at home with a local myth. Expect a lively mix of theater, music, and humor, with a touch of acrobatics, group singing, and a healthy dose of pleasant madness. The 'Wagenspel' (Wagon Play) breathes new life into an age-old tradition and turns it into a contemporary celebration: laughing, singing, dreaming, and being moved together... right in the middle of the village. Local talent jumps on the wagon. What makes this project extra special is the strong local contribution. The wagon is not just 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. Moreover, Bierbeek gets the scoop: the traveling Wagenspel premieres here. Come and see! Let's celebrate together.
