About The Field Hospital
Here on earth lies a humungous baby with a achy tummy, bald patch, stiff knees, burnt skin and a broken heart.
Can you see?
Can you hear the soft weeps?
Let’s whisper “Show us where it hurts, so that we know where to love you the most”
The Field Hospital is an immersive experience; a living artwork which can only be perceived through the heart’s lens. The symbolic sculpture is being built by a collective, each championing a part of the body. The sickness of one organ permeates through the entire body, into the rivers and oceans, eventually effecting the whole universe. Together we weave our own stories into one imperfect tapestry and THIS is the medicine.
The Field Hospital’s visiting hours are 10am to 10pm from the 14th to the 19th, all of which one festival ticket covers. Libertas Farm (meaning farm of freedom) will be filled ,everyday, with song, truth, comfort food, dance, art, tears, performances and the immensity of life- light and dark. It shall runneth over.
Book yourself into the Field Hospital if you are in dire need of a drip or a inspiration injection or bring flowers and a get-well-soon card if you want.
If you don’t understand a word written here (its okay, we don’t either), brace yourself for a maze procedure, cross the bridges patched up and come see.

Oor die Veldhospitaal
Kom boek jouself by die Veldhospitaal in. Of bring net blomme en ‘n beterskap-kaartjie saam as jy wil. Hoe dit ookal sy, n kopdraai boehaai sal dit bly.
Ons almal is baie moeg, siek en sat, le met n eina pyna hart, effens mal, huilerig, gee moed op… en voel nou genoeg-is-genoeg.
Toe besluit ons om saam ‘n Veldhospitaal te bou, waar ons as sukkelende kreatiewe liggame net ‘n drip of n drukkie of íets kan kry. N plek waar ons waarhede kan leef en stories saam kan weef. Dít is die medisyne!
Die Veldhospitaal is ‘n ervaring, ‘n avontuur na die binnewereld. Dis 'n lewende kunswerk wat bestaan uit organe, liggaamsdele en abstraksies van menswees, elkeen wat verteenwoordig word deur n individuele kunstenaar. Die Veldhospitaal se besoekure is 10vm tot 10nm vanaf die 14de tot die 19de; een feeskaartjie dek dit als.
Ons is nie gepla met perfeksie nie, want dit is juis deur die krake waar die lig inskyn. Ons wil net mekaar so bietjie vashou, ‘n skouer en ‘n oor verleen, aan trooskos smul, alles uit die hart probeer doen, volkome ervaar, en aanvaar, gesond word, help waar ons kan, ‘n inspirasie inspuiting gee, ‘n blaaskansie vir die siel besorg, ‘n uitroep aan die Heelal bring, of ‘n saak van gebed oop maak.
As jy nie heeltamal verstaan wat hier geskryf is nie, chillax, volg net die prikkel.
