synopsis
The established order, and the familiar forces that seemed to last eternally, are shaken to their foundations.
The new world struggles its way in, throwing the old regime overboard.
Changes are unstoppable and will always come about by fits and starts.
In the wide open barren landscape after the conflict, new opportunities are bubbling and brewing.
New life emerges.
Initially shapeless, then rapidly, eagerly pushing itself to greater heights.
Yet, without a solid foundation, any new structure is bound to collapse.
The sole survivors float between the rubble.
The chaos after a catastrophe makes everyone equal.
Just like the Dommel River, always flowing and never pausing, new plans and ideas flow into one another – forging a broader view of a better world.
Hope too, is irrepressible.
This is the synopsis of the tale told in Bosch Parade 2019. The concept has been devised by ‘The Bosch Parade company ’ and the texts were written by Lucas de Waard.
