Taking the disappearance of a cathedral bell as its starting point, Forum Heersum guided its audience through 12 villages and towns in the region during the 2025 theatre summer. The villages developed their own segment as part of a larger narrative, supported by the travelling ensemble from Heersum. The result was a mosaic of theatre, music and village festivals. Over 5,000 visitors followed the bell’s trail and became cultural tourists in their own region.
