They perform in and around Vlengendaal at various locations, presenting nine different scenes. In roughly 8 to 9 minutes, one of the many stories that make up the Roman history of Bocholtz is brought to life in an entertaining way. Visitors walk from scene to scene, accompanied by a narrator who explains the miniature plays.\r\n\r\nRehearsals started in early July under the direction of director Roger Lataster. Most of the actors and actresses were recruited from theatre associations in the region. They bring plenty of experience, but a number of \u201cRomans\u201d will make their stage debut at the end of August. A remarkable detail is the multilingual nature of the texts. Some of the actors speak \u201cRipuarian\u201d during the performances, the Rhineland dialect still spoken in the far southeast of Limburg as well as in Germany up to Cologne and in eastern Belgium. The origin of this language lies with the Franks, who took over from the Romans in Western Europe. Choosing Ripuarian is therefore historically justified. And that applies to the entire festival. Roger Lataster: \u201cAs a director, I am bound to historical truth. So I look together with the actors for a balance between entertaining and informing.\u201d\r\n\r\nClick <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sempervivetum.com\">here<\/a> for more information and tickets."}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.viabelgica.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.viabelgica.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.viabelgica.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.viabelgica.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.viabelgica.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17020"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.viabelgica.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17020\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17023,"href":"https:\/\/www.viabelgica.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17020\/revisions\/17023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.viabelgica.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.viabelgica.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.viabelgica.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
