Every house begins with a solid cornerstone. Similarly, Into The Great Wide Open also needs these building blocks to bring the festival to life. In The Cornerstones, we follow the people whose work is indispensable to the festival. This time: the transformation of Vlieland's forest into a festival site by the Technical Production team.
Mirjam and Chris lead the entire technical production and ensure that all ideas that arise at the drawing table actually find a place on the site. Building on location starts two weeks in advance, but we observe how the site looks one day before the opening.
