On the lawn (grasveld) in front of the Stads-schouwburg at Lepelenburg is a statue,
called Feest der Muzen (party of the three Muses).
called Feest der Muzen (party of the three Muses).
The statue is made by Joop Hekman in 1959 so this year it is exactly 50 years old !
From April on, the fountain around the statue is working and during hot days I was always jealous seeing the ladies being splashed with cold fresh water in the shadow of the tree while I was dusty and sweating.
The three Muses are three out of nine muses (nine daughters of Zeus) of the Greek mythology.
They are called Thalia (muse of comedy), Melpomene (muse of tragedy) and Tersichore (muse of dance). So the place of the statue near the theatre is really well over thought.
