The organisers are therefore urgently looking for two other <strong>authentic flat-bottomed boats<\/strong>. Due to the ongoing drought, the Twente Canal has been closed to shipping. As a result, transport by water is not possible. Fortunately, there is a solution: thanks to our sponsor, Bolk Transport, the ships can be transported safely by road to Almelo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organisers are appealing to skippers, owners of historic vessels, water sports clubs, museums and anyone with a network in the inland waterway sector. Does anyone have two suitable flat-bottomed boats, or know someone who can help? Any tips are most welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Polderjongens is a large-scale theatre production about the history of Twente, its canals and the people who have shaped the region. The Port of Almelo is not only the setting, but also a key part of the story. Authentic flat-bottomed boats bring that history to life and make the production come alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who can help the organisation is warmly invited to contact producer Ellen Wisse at info@theaterproductiestwente.nl. Thanks to Bolk Transport, transport has been arranged; now we\u2019re just looking for the two flat-bottomed boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Polderjongens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Polderjongens can be seen from 26 August to 13 September at Stationsstraat 11 in Almelo. This large-scale site-specific theatre production tells the impressive story of the more than two hundred workers who built the Almelo-Nordhorn Canal at the start of the last century. The performance starts at 6.00 pm and tickets, priced at \u20ac65, include a three-course dinner, accompanying drinks and the performance.
