VLOED is a festival in motion. Not from a chair, but on the move, you will discover how water shapes Zandvoort. At Het Huis van Wester, in the middle of the Waterleidingduinen — where fresh dune water is filtered into drinking water — visual theater makers DeJong&DeWitte invite you to make the crossing: from solid ground to liquid. Physically and mentally.
During this experiential route with sound, images, and narrative interventions, DeJong&DeWitte make the tension between control and movement tangible. It slows you down, opens you up, and reconnects you with the water that flows beneath our feet and sustains us every day.
At the Huis van Wester — where time seems to stand still — you can hear the water: dripping, flowing, evaporating, crackling, and singing.
This route is made possible in part by Waternet.
