Circus theater performance 'quite' big surprise during late summer festival grazing swan

Last weekend, the sixth edition of the adventurous family theater festival Grazende Zwaan brought a great diversity of location theater and audiences to and around the Kleine Vennep estate in Nieuw-Vennep.

Families fully enjoyed circus, music and family shows such as THE LITTLE MERMAID. In addition, there was a large portion of activities on the estate; from building huts and clay to hula hoop and theater workshops.

There was also estate theater on the program again during this edition: theater hidden in places on the estate. From GODENZONEN, comic theater about football, to the exuberant performance STURMPJE, which attempts to unleash a revolution. On Saturday evening there was a sold-out farm concert in the monumental barn, with none other than Leoni Jansen and Carel Kraayenhof.

The sunny late summer weekend attracted young and old to Dirk Molenaar's estate. Karavaan, the organization behind the festival, looks back on a successful edition.

The highlight of the festival was the circus theater performance VRIJ by Cirque de la Liberté, entirely in the tradition of Cirque Du Soleil. This was the main performance of the festival. The Charlie Chaplin-like situations provided comical and surprising moments.

“Enjoyed this relaxed relaxed family event immensely”
“An unprecedented .. airy no nonsense atmosphere”
