From 10 December to 22 December 2024, you can climb the famous Dom Tower in a very special way during the evening hours.
Six students of HKU Theatre and HKU Games created a magical and poetical climb. The story of the Nightwatchers can be followed during the climb upwards on the 465 steps, along various historical rooms, and a view from 112 metres high. And your own voice must be heard as well, so you can provide your own personal contribution to the experience.
Will you join this theatrical interactive climb up on Dom Tower to shine your light over the city of Utrecht?
What memory would you want to keep forever? Sometimes you need to take a step back before you can see what you cherish. This December, the Nighwatchers therefore launch stories that are captured in the light together with your personal thoughts and memories. Let them shine in the night sky.
