From 25 July to 25 August, the theater group the PeerGroup plays ‘the LOFAR Expedition’, a cosmic journey into the unknown, with astronaut/comedian Vincent Bijlo as your professional guide. The performance is played in the core of the LOFAR telescope and in the surrounding nature area of Het Drentse Landschap, between Exloo and Buinen.

LOFAR stands for Low Frequency Array and is a network of thousands of sensitive sensors spread over the northeastern parts of the Netherlands and in Germany, England, Sweden and France. One of the main projects for which scientists use the LOFAR telescope is to map the very beginning of the universe, when the first stars and galaxies were formed.
In ‘the LOFAR Expedition’, we travel to the origins of our universe. Vincent Bijlo thinks he has found the fastest route to the Big Bang. On the way, he makes many exciting cosmic adventures that will shed new light on our existence.
With a lot of music, humour and fantasy, the PeerGroup brings the seemingly infinite universe closer. Black holes, curved spaces and supernovas: everything becomes clear. In over an hour we travel lightyears back and who knows, maybe we’ll even hear the Big Bang….
