IJSTIJD Thialf
A fantasy story on the ice at Thialf about skating.
On March 25, 2018, Thialf’s ice hockey rink will be transformed into a theater! As many as 100 enthusiastic skating and non-skating participants as actors, musicians and acrobats from the Heerenveen region can then be seen in a short and powerful spectacle on the ice. IJSTIJD Thialf! The performance brings a fantasy story for the whole family followed by a “DJ on Ice!” for fans who want to put on their own skates.
Figure skating club Thialf from Heerenveen, under the leadership of producers Madelène van Beuzekom and Evert Haagsma, is taking the initiative to put on a performance on ice as part of Leeuwarden-Friesland 2018. ‘Iepen mienskip’ and ‘skating’, both strong concepts that merge at one of the most famous locations in Friesland at Heerenveen. Thialf is the place par excellence where people meet, doors are always open and cross-border dreams come true. In short, the place where “iepen mienskip” takes shape in 2018.
The performance IJSTIJD Thialf presents a fantasy story about skating. The ice master of Thialf shares his memories with the audience and ends up in a special dream world full of fantasy. He embarks on a bizarre adventure to retrieve the ice age. This includes various skating sports such as ice hockey, curling, figure skating and short track. But this time in bizarre appearances and with unusual combinations, which together convey a spectacular and colorful story.
To shape the performance, cooperation was sought with the community in Heerenveen such as Ateliers Majeurs, Heerenveen n’ Gouden Plak, the Heerenveen Music Corps, as well as GV-Stanfries (Gorredijk rhythmic gymnastics department) and also many enthusiastic volunteers.
It is set to happen on Sunday, March 25, 2018, and the show will be on display at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. at Thialf Ice Hockey Hall. Ticket sales have now started. More information and tickets via www.kcthialf.nl/ijstijd
