PERFORMING ARTS: Visueel Festival Visuel

Two cultural centres, CG de Kroon and Archipel 19, join forces for a free festival that transcends language barriers. Here there are no words, but lots of antics, acrobatics (on water and in the air), amazing performances including even clownish bushes ready for all kinds of madness and a show that makes the grass talk! Combining circus arts, dances of balance and funny and poetic performances, Visueel Festival Visuel appeals to all our senses, amazing us in the process.
