Carnaval 2026 is on its way! With the project De Parade, we’re creating something special: a carnival performance during the grand Optocht, centered around togetherness, creativity, and individuality. But… we can’t do it without you!
We’re looking for a group of enthusiastic volunteers to walk in the upcoming Optocht. Not just as extras, but as co-creators. There’s room for your ideas, your energy, and your input. The result? A collaborative performance.
What are we asking from you?
• You’ll help shape the concept of the act
• You’ll contribute to the design and help with the costumes and props
• You’ll attend the weekly rehearsals (see schedule below)
• You’ll walk in the Optocht on February 16, 2026
• No experience required – just the motivation to create something beautiful together!
Rehearsal Schedule
Every Thursday evening from November 13 to February 16, there will be rehearsals led by artistic director Juup Luijten.
- 13 november – Beyerd, Boschstraat 26
- 20, 27 november en 4, 11 en 18 december – Kamu, Boschstraat 31
- 8, 15, 22, 29 januari en 5 februari – Elektron, Speelhuislaan 171
- 12 februari - rehearsal
- 16 februari – optocht
Why take part?
You’ll become part of a creative team, meet new people, and contribute to a unique carnaval performance that shares a message of togetherness in Breda.
