How did you come up with the idea to go 150 years back in time?
2 years ago we had a 150th anniversary of the church tower.
We held a special party to celebrate this church tower
And it was such a success that this year we organise a Dickens festival
Welcome to this world
Thank you
Welcome to the world of Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens was a writer who was alive 150 years ago.
And he wrote all kinds of books from Oliver Twist to Scrooge, and yeah everyone knows those stories
And we are trying to replicate that time with this festival
I hate kids and i hate women too. I hate you even more!
Jacob Marley? Is that you?
Yes that is right. Im Marley, your old companion
But you have been dead for 7 years
I am the ghost of Jacob Marley. I've come to warn you. To make give you a better life
This is not helping my mood
Its not really working with me today
And its a Sunday so definately not
Good day
(We want voting rights)
(We want equal rights)
(We also want to go to school)
How many people did you work with to set this up?
We are with 349 volunteers
And where did you get ideas for the clothes and everything?
We rented the clothes last time, some people have already made their clothes
and since it is such a big success, everyone just make it themselves this time.
and with people we know as well. Thats how we get the clothes and stuff
But you have to do it where nobody can see otherwise they would all come to my stand ok?
If it doesnt work you can come back in 24 hours to get a replacement
Because I know for sure that there is something in there that will help you
Yes?
Good luck with that, and good health to you
Anyone else with a health problem?
Stomach problems, lung problems, anything, just say it
Can you sum up what there is to do in this festival?
There are a number of chorus performing
The people from the acting clubs who are walking around in different costumes and characters
And the market of course.
There are different crafts as well, from the baker to the blacksmith, etc...
And behind you is a great artist
Those sort of things can be seen at this festival
He was so good to us
Yes
And the kids will be... Oh... They will suffer without him
The ox and the donkey, they stood in their pen for the first and last time
They had a conversation about human, that they only learn
to compete for money and gold, and who's got the nicest clothes
They also say, how stupid it was that the humans still focus their common sense on the wrong things.
Also here, in Kempenland. Because there is still something worth more than money, wellness, and gold.
But that story that I told, that story is really old already
My husband is a drunk
I have no job anymore. Please have pity on us
Here! Here!
Look at how poor my children looks
I also want one! I want to have one!
Thank you sir!
My children are so hungry. They havent eaten in 3 days
Is this festival something that is going to come back every year?
We hope once every 2 years
Yes
And is it going to be this theme every time or is it going to switch?
We have not fully decided yet, but this theme still give enough opportunities for a remake
so I think we will stick with this for the coming years
So it is good day sir, or good day Marschall, or good day Reverend!
