‘Jutter’ (beachcombers) stories

They’re still around: beachcombers who go the beach during westerly winds, hoping to find somewhere on the beach that one unusual, fantastic unrivaled object, that everyone is jealous of. The darker the clouds, the harder the rain, the more the wind blows, the better it is for the beachcomber, the ‘jutter’, on the beach. No one else visible, no officials around. The beach is for the beachcomber. The beachcombers tell their stories with humor, but also with a critical look at consumption and pollution. A plea for freedom and adventure close to home.

Beachcombing stories as introduction for schools is free. The price for groups and companies (max. 50 people) is € 85.- (30 minutes).
