"That a dyke also can serve as a backdrop proves Prins te Paard with their spectacular drive-in."
De Pers
A 12 metre high dike, a large meadow, a strong FM transmitter, 2 huge projectors, your own car and a radio play. These are the ingredients for the drive-in spectacle ‘Dijk-In’. You watch, sitting in your car that is parked in front of the dike. With your car stereo tuned in to a radio play, you listen to the narrative of an old shepherd who enters the new polderland, filled with pride, hope and dreams for the future. But each year more rules, more laws and more regulations are being put up. The old shepherd can’t cope with all these and finally has to leave his beloved sheep.
Huge projections on the dike body and over 30 actors give life and depth to the radio play. Sound, light, and water effects complete this extraordinary performance. In the end, a large, mysterious sailing vessel navigates by, right behind the dike.
The ‘Dijk-In’ is an homage to the traditional polder landscape and the Dutch art of reclaiming land, a task that was vigorously taken up in the 50’s.
De Dijk-In was performed 24 times. Each performace offering place for 100 cars and 40 seats in ‘VIP-loges’: big agricultural machines that were parked in the last row.
