Tenth edition David Bade draws down Heerlen
David Bade meets Cultura Nova.
From autumn 2020, David Bade will dive into the world of six special groups and clubs in Heerlen. For instance, he made new work in the mental health organisation Mondriaan, he may soon be training with the football club RKSV Groene Ster, he danced with the breakdancers of HFC and he delved into the world of the Pink Perill Roller Derby. From Monday 12 to Friday 23 December 2022, Bade will meet the people behind Cultura Nova. He will talk to the many volunteers who make this festival possible year in, year out.
