THE EVENING PLAY
If you are able to stay in town during the whole evening, we will offer you a unique spectacle free of charge. Seats are payable and can be reserved. Location of the play is the “Grote Markt”, the town market place. The scenery is formed by the static tower of the basilica at the back, the beautiful city hall at the right and the proud and sturdy Ambiorix in front.
3000 participants will show you the revival of Mary in a fantastic world of sound and light. The play brings you Mary, Mother of Jesus and our Mother and it develops into an unforgettable apotheosis when the merciful statue will be carried out of the basilica. Hundreds of players and thousands of spectators will chant honouring Mary.
