61th Brabantsedag Atmosphere, ambiance and the biggest theatre parade of the year without precedent

HEEZE - The 61st Brabantsedag Heeze was an excellent day today. The organisation estimates that around 40,000 guests enjoyed the day-long programme on the Atmosphere & Taste Squares and the highlight of this event: the biggest theatre parade of the year.

The weather gods were favourably disposed towards Brabantsedag Heeze. With a sun and some light clouds it was a good place to stay all day.

The many performances on the squares were well received by the mass audience. The groups with more than 2,000 actors attracted the general public in Heeze, the theatre parade. They competed for the generous favour of the public and, of course, for the prizes:

Overall winner was Vriendenkring Hopeloos, with Mierlo. The witch-hunt of 1595. The witches or the witch-hunt?

Secondly, Bouwerij Skôn ended up with Babylonienbroek. Land of Misunderstanding. Incomprehension brings the village its name.

Vriendenkring De Rijten won third place in the general classification with Diessen. The Hercules of Deusone: a hidden past unveiled.

Bloed, Zweet en Tranen (BZ&T) won both the Press Prize and the HWV Public Prize (from the Heezer Shopkeepers Association) with Udenhout. The sunken castle: ye shall not sin (tuam non peccabis).

The tenor of the press jury was: 'It seems as if the parade goes to a higher level every year'. The public and the jury also praised the quality of the parade.
