Walking in Jamaican style


It starts with an enormous black hole in the ground on the southside of the island. Dark and low earthsounds and vibrations come out of it.
The performance Walking ends in a huge white cone with heavenly noises in the dunes in the north.
In between there is slow walking. Like your a real time walking through a still life of Terschelling nature. Forgetting the time and leaving your watch behind. Robert Wilson used to spend his holidays in a small village somewhere on an other island. Jamaica. Probably he got his inspiration of his landscape art there. Hear the reggae music of that island and take a spliff and you will never run again!
Walking is the most prestigious and probably the most expensive project of the festival. This special Oerol experience has been made possible with the money of Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds, VSBfonds and Nederlands Fonds voor Podiumkunsten+ AND the 20 euro of your ticket! Walking is a strange experience, but worthwhile. After four hours my Jamaican walk endend on the beach. And I could not resist running to Heartbreak Hotel for a nice beer.....
