Swamp Imaginaries @ Nieuwkoop

In the second weekend of the festival we focus on the area around Nieuwkoop and the Nieuwkoopse Plassen wetlands.

Bodies of Water

Artist Anne Zarske invites audience participants to float on the Nieuwkoopse Plassen, to feel the boundaries between self, body, landscape and water dissolve. To experience the point where different ‘bodies of water’ meet..

Tales from the Swamp

On Sunday afternoon (June 7), we take to the open air music stage at the historical Reghthuysplein, in the heart of Nieuwkoop itself for a meeting of tellers of ‘Tales from the Swamp’ from different wetlands areas in Europe. We share myths, folklore, symbolical imaginaries from the bog / swamp / mire / wetlands, and above all our love for the soft soil of the peatlands.
