A growing part of Huis Marais is our Culture department. Huis Marais has a passionate culture department which is growing and looking for more ways to participate in cultural activities every year.
Some cultural activities include:
Toneelfees / Drama festival The house participates in a short play competition where our actors show the campus what they are made of on stage.
Molassesêr To conclude the welcoming period, our first year and some seniors entertain the female residences with singing and dancing. (Note that this is a big group activity where no real singing and dancing talent is needed, the only criteria is to have fun.)
Debating For Huismanne who have a way with their words, the debating society allows vocal huismanne to show their talents.
Culture evenings Socials with fellow residences where huismanne, as individuals or groups, are given an opportunity to participate in a showcase where they can entertain a crowd with their musical / cultural / special talents.
The Acapella group The biggest cultural activity in Huis Marais is the Acapella group, formerly known as Ser. A group of up to 20 men train to compete in the SU Acapella competition. Huis Marais’s Ser has grown extensively in the last two years.
