The famous Catalan theatre company La Fura dels Baus is coming to Parktheater in Eindhoven from 12 to 15th September 2018.
The Philipszaal will transform into a ‘Black Box’, a picturesque space without seating where everything is possible. You will be able to stand, walk or move among the actors who will involve you in their performance.
With Manes, the group is returning to the original form of La Fura dels Baus’ productions from the 80s: primitive, harsh and violent. We live in a society that is no longer dominated by humans, but by technology. Manes confronts and immerses you in your most animalistic nature. The boundary between actor and audience fades. La Fura dels Baus performs throughout the world and leaves its audiences surprised, dismayed, discouraged or irritated. Let yourself be challenged by these masters of disruption.
This unique show, co-produced with Parktheater Eindhoven, is on Wednesday, September 12, 2018, running for four days. It will start at 20.30 and will cost €24.50.
From Tuesday 10th of July, the annual Wilhelmina four-day-long cycling event starts at Eindhoven. It takes place for the eleventh time this year.
Tourclub Wilhelmina created the routes. Participants can choose cycling routes of 30, 45 or 60 kilometers long, each day. All routes lead participants through the beautiful landscape of Brabant.
Cyclists will pass through local villages, forests, heath-land and along meadows. According to the organisation, it is the largest cycling event in Noord Brabant.
Point of departure and finish is at Sporthal Genderbeemd, Sterkenburg 616, in Eindhoven each day. The organisation ensured there will be a special charging point available for electric bikes.

Yes, you read it well, since July 7th there is an artificial beach at the Evoluon, including beachchairs and matching drinks menu. The entrance is free, the drinks, unfortunately, yet understandably, not. You can just come down and enjoy the sun and nice fine sand, find your beachchair and dream away.
Over the last decade the city beaches have grown in popularity, initially the bigger cities, but those days also many mid-sized cities started to create artificial beaches in the city. On pleasant locations, often close to a river, lake or other means of water they put some nice sand, lounge chairs and cool music, to create an holiday atmosphere. These ‘beaches’ have grown in popularity over the years.
Eindhoven started with this phenomenon last year at the Vestdijk, however the weather after mid-July didn’t really work in its favor. This year the Evoluon is making an attempt. Next to their pond the put white sand and beach chairs. Cocktails are available too.. however swimming in the pond there is unfortunately not allowed, as the water is not in a complete healthy condition. Nevertheless, if you are a beach-fan and holidays haven’t kicked in yet, its worth to check it out. Its open most weekends, whenever its above 21c, and lasts till begin of September
So whether you want to go to Brainport Beach, Strijp Strand or Philips Plage, wait for the sun to come out, and head for the Evoluon to relax on the white sand.
On Sunday, August 26, 2018, the rolling theatre parade will once again be the highlight of Brabantsedag Heeze. And what better way to go there than by bicycle, all arranged and hassle-free.

A Day Out
Many families love to cycle to the Bezuidenhoutseweg, where a stage, some bars and a number of food trucks ensure a relaxed and happy atmosphere. Tribute bands, including from the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Amy Winehouse, ensure enjoyable performances. The audience is not over-excited, but most visitors are clearly enjoying themselves.

Hundreds of new students flocked to the TU campus on Monday for the start of the Intro Week.
The new students take the first steps at the university with this. It is meant to get to know the study and the city. ‘I come from Utrecht and the choice for me was Enschede or Eindhoven. The TU is closer, so that choice was quickly made, ‘one of the new students tells us.
The other has been living in Eindhoven for a long time. ‘Actually, not much has changed, only that I am a student now and that you will see different things. I’m really looking forward to it’.
Student years
Of course the intro week is meant to get to know a lot of new people and also some alcohol is consumed. That is also necessary, according to Noud van der Gevel from the Introductory Committee. ‘They are your student years so you are very free now. So try to find something where you really feel at home. ”

Yesterday was the 61st edition of Brabantsedag in Heeze. The biggest parade in the Netherlands. 16 Carts displayed very impressive constructions, play, grime, sounds, paintwork, and dance. True handmade masterpieces about Brabant culture and history.
Cong and Dan from China, Irene from Eindhoven News
For internationals though it is not always understandable. Cong from China remarked: “It is very extraordinary but I don’t always get the background. I see a lot of crosses and referrals to Christianity, but I don’t know exactly what is meant.” Dan, also from China, agreed: “The parade is amazing, there is so much to see. I wish we would know more about the history. “
The information booklet contained some texts in English with explanations of the displays, for the first time this year. This helped the visiting internationals, as well as friendly local visitors who were very happy to explain certain elements.
Vriendenkring Kapelstraat-Trick of the Turf barge Bred
The village of Heeze was a lively town yesterday: music everywhere, dressed-up people mixing with the crowd, people on stilts, even Pinocchio was there. It was a day full of entertainment.
If you like to get to know Brabant (the Southern province in the Netherlands) this is a must see next year. Put it in your diary already, the last Sunday of August.
The village breathes Brabantsedag. When you arrive you see a selection of all Dutch chairs lined up, put there to be claimed by the owners later on. (Jokingly you can call it a furniture display too… hundreds of different chairs you can find along the route.)
Vriendenkring Snoeyen- The search for a young girl
Indeed many creations refer to Christianity, the good sides and the bad sides of it. Though they leave the judgment often in the middle like: the witch hunt in the Middle Ages, “Who was to blame? The witches or the witch hunters?” In that period too, the urge of reverting all people to Christianity, even in the Netherlands itself, was addressed. Towns were invaded and people were ushered to reading the bible and learning Latin. Many misunderstandings arose: the Brabant town is still called Babyloniënbroek.
Topics in the parade included: murders, extraordinary people (like the smallest woman in the world from Ossendrecht), luting gangs (‘Bokkenrijders’), victories (the Dutch Trojan horse: the peat barge of Breda (‘Turfschip‘) and not to forget business successes were exposed in a grand way. Such as the shoe brand Van Bommel, which only still exists because of the strong widow (with 5 children) in the 1800’s, continued the shoe factory. She was helped by her two sons, respectively 11 and 9-years-old. The success of material dyeing company from Helmond called Vlisco was shown in a vibrant way too. In Africa this brand was as desired as Gucci in Europe.
Vriendenkring Haisjo- Where is the border
All in all, you can say, nothing different in Brabant, and nothing different in the past. Also here, a long time back, international relations took place: international trade, wars about borders (Baarle-Nassau, they couldn’t decide if it was Dutch or Belgian), women’s rights, child abuse and the question if insane people are really insane or are the sane?
Brabantsedag is a rich and not to be missed display of a very remarkable and sometimes bizarre past. Brabantsedag is the work of hundreds of volunteers making the carts, creating the mobile stages and added to that, astonishing grime and costumes. A year of energy put into a two-and-a-half hour is passing by. Fabulous!
As Aisyah from Kuala Lumpur exclaimed: “I thought it would be a short parade with tractors and simple signage but this was actually really amazing!! I am very impressed. All the effort of the people and so many visitors, and the poffertjes: yumm! Also we cycled from Eindhoven to Heeze with Eindhoven Cycling tours through the forest (very convenient too because we avoided the traffic jams). We had a wonderful trip to get there too. I had a great day!”
Eindhoven News promotes this event as they believe this is a great source to learn about Brabant’s past in a fun way. Also, it is engaging to listen to local brass bands, local famous musicians and to meet local people. It is a stone throw away from Eindhoven with an abundance of history, culture and not to forget entertainment.

A four-storey car park with space for 600 cars. This is how big the new P&R Genneper Parken will be, EindhovenMunicipality writes.
The parking garage is to be built on RPC football club’s current main field. In 2020, the much talked about P&R should be ready. From then on, paid parking will be introduced for the rest of Genneper Parken.
According to the Eindhovens Dagblad, (Eindhoven Daily Newspaper) athletes are only charged after five hours, while non-athletes must pay from minute one. It is not clear how the distinction is made.
Oranje-Rood
On weekends when Oranje-Rood is playing hockey, the parking garage will be used by the club’s athletes and supporters. The current car park at the hockey club on Charles Roelslaan will no longer be in use. On this kind of sporting weekend, there will still be room for between 150 and 200 cars.
Cost
The cost is going to be high: over EUR20 million. The expenses will be paid mainly with an HOV (High-quality Public Transport) subsidy from the province of Noord Brabant. This grant is good for EUR14 million. The remainder will be covered by parking revenues and rent of the grounds by the GGD (Public Health Service) who park their ambulances there.
RPC and Tivoli
The RPC will move to De Heihoef Sportpark. This venue is home to the Tivoli football club. Here, there are two new artificial turf fields as well as three natural grass pitches. Everything is under lights. The RPC will also get a new canteen and six dressing rooms at this sports park.
The World Press Photo 2018 exhibition will be held again this year at the Eindhoven University of Technology.
The exhibition shows the winners of the 2018 World Press Contest, an annual photography contest in which the best journalistic photo is chosen. The competition is known as the most prestigious competition for professional photographers, photojournalists and documentary makers.
In total, over 70,000 images were submitted this year by more than 4,500 photographers from all over the world. The jury will select one photo from this, which will be titled World Press Photo of the Year.
Winner
This year the winner was the photo of Mexican photographer Ronaldo Schemidts, who took the photo called ‘Venezuela Crisis’. In the photo, you can see Jose Víctor Salasar Balza (28) running while on fire during the violent confrontations with the riot police during a protest against President Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. Balza survived the incident with first and second-degree burns.
The exhibition can be viewed free of charge from 12 September to 4 October in the Vertigo building on the campus of Eindhoven University of Technology.
