I decided to write a separate post about two events we took (passive) part in. It was a cultural festival organized by the international student network and a theater play with our friend Pim in the main part.
The festival was a bit short for us because we arrived late from Nijmegen, but still we managed to see quite a few things. There were people from all over the world representing their country on the stage - there were singing, playing, dancing, presenting traditional clothes. They were also some stalls with all sorts of foods and drinks but we didn't luck upon it... (Thanks to you Fannie!!)
Our favourite stall - Hungarian, abandoned but still with a bottle of Tokay on the table ;)
Russian kids - they danced and sung, really nice.
The last performers were Dutch as you may guess ;) The clog dance, finally I saw it after two years of living in the Netherlands...
A few days later, we went to the Pim's play. It was Shakespeare in a very inventive arrangement. And the actors played so professionally, even if they were 'only' students. The play was 3 hours long, but we didn't feel it because of it's lively plot and witty dialogues, moreover, we left with the unsatisfied hunger... I wish there was a second part.
You can see the crazy, colourful clothes, weird and very simple scenography, completely not Shakespearey one might say, but it really didn't matter, it was actually the thing that made the whole play more interesting. There were so many tiny details, difficult to notice (not for me of course) but adding so much to the story... Amazing experience!
Soap bubbles in the last scene, it wasn't tacky at all!
And this is Pim, our up-and-coming star :)
