In the 'March: We carry the River' you are invited to collectively carry the weight of the mud through Rotterdam, which is removed from the bottom of the Nieuwe Maas every day with 33 million kilos. As the bottom of the river carries us, we carry it now. With 100 “carrier bags” we will form one long stream through the city and together carry this weight. This carrier bags are designed and handmade by artist Anne Kloosterhuis. The procession is accompanied by seven musicians who, under the guidance of composer Sophia Bardoutsou, make 'the voice' of the river silt audible, using instruments made from the river bed.
