Visual Language Weekend

The second weekend of the Oerol Festival (from Friday June 14 until Sunday June 16) is entirely dedicated to the Visual Language. What does that mean? There will be deaf performers, and many programme components will be provided with Dutch Sign Language (NGT) interpreters and/or captioners.

Interpreters

Our interpreters, both deaf and hearing, are ready to translate. Each performance indicates which interpreters are present. Speech-to-text interpreters work with iPads or Text on Stage, a large screen where the text can be read live.

Suppose you need an interpreter during the weekend for a programme component where no interpreter is available. In that case, you can use our ‘Jut de Tolk’ initiative. Just like the people of the Wadden Islands beachcombing for what they need along the coast (in Dutch known as jutten), as a visitor, you can ‘jut’ an interpreter. Send a WhatsApp message to Nathalie at +31 6-20107362 (text or NGT), and we’ll do our best to find an interpreter for you. Be quick, as the sooner you send your request, the greater the chance of availability.

Routes

Do you want to make the most out of your weekend at Oerol? You decide how! We provide you with tips packaged in routes, with interpreted performances, and plenty of choices. Some routes require tickets, for others, showing your festival wristband is enough. Whatever you choose, we wish you wonder, emotion, a broad smile, something to ponder, beautiful encounters, and above all: lots of fun!
