Cie. La Pendue has already impressed the at.tension audience several times with their magic. Now they are back with their new, highly relevant puppet theatre piece. The brilliant duo reinterpret the thousand-year-old fairytale "The Girl Without Hands", which was once written by the Brothers Grimm. The tale presents the puppeteer with a beautiful paradox: she becomes the hands of the handless girl and thus tells the story of the heroine's struggle for freedom.

Immersed in a plastic tide, we will be led to the very essence of this object that is the ring. We will lose ourselves in its immensity. As we go along, the space will be transformed. The emptiness of the stage will be replaced by plastic and colour. The hoops will become more and more important until we are engulfed by their very presence. Could this be a laboratory in which we create and destroy, where we see ourselves as the riders of a universe that we do not end up controlling ?

Clown / Physisches Theater
photo: Ana Fernandez
This internationally acclaimed performance takes us into a magical world of tulle, tears and toilet paper. Experience a heartbreaking, hilarious clown play about loneliness, hope and the search for "the right one". As the longing for true love seems to be the burden of our time, the protagonist Greta rehearses the arrival of the so-called one once a week in order to be prepared for the worst. Will she be lucky today?

This grandiose circus concert is a witty and furious celebration of our former vibrant lives. The two artists Elice and Chloé met while training at circus school - 18 years later they met again on a home trainer in a rehabilitation centre. Together they compare which bones they have broken and which injuries they have sustained. Together they rekindle the fire, full of humour and vulnerability.

Two jugglers on a treadmill: they jog, run, cannot get off, while a musician drives them through a series of experiments. "Runners" deals with the perceived and real speed of time. The central players in the show are two relentless treadmills, which are conducted by the musician like his musical instruments. A grotesquely comical game between the three protagonists gets going and takes its course.

STEK
Zeitgenössischer Zirkus / Clowns
photo: Jasper Wessel
Unfortunately, the event has to be canceled due to injury. „Stek“ conjure up the noise and smoke of the street. With stunts, music, acrobatics, juggling and clowning, „Stek“ brings to life a universe outside of convention. In a whirlpool of jubilant madness, grim black humour and improvisation, these clowns, as outcast marginal figures, tell of the invisible in society. In their turbulent everyday life with chases, jumps and somersaults over containers, life can be worth a piece of bread (Stek). Thanks to a frenzied lust for life, the motto is: Get on with it, whatever the cost!

A political, touching choreography between charged energy and powerful silence. It is the third work in Toonga's acclaimed trilogy, which calls for change and for overcoming the stigmas that society has towards BIPoC. This time, the focus is on the invisible and underrepresented lives of Black women. A danced portrait of struggle, strength and survival - full of anger, resilience and support.

A Spectacle Of Herself
Zeitgenössischer Zirkus
photo: Holly Revell
A bold, acrobatic odyssey through the border areas of mental health, queerness, rage and the space race of the 21st century. The solo is a vulnerable and deeply personal intervention on what it means to take up space, to show oneself and to be seen. The solo navigates grandly between the personal and the political in a mixture of autobiography, lip-sync, video and aerial performance.

"We juggle, we sing, we are good ... What more could you want?!!!" But this juggling girl and boy band have missed their chance of fame. With a fuck-off mentality, they piss against the wind and confront the uncertainty of the future with a present of experiments. A subversive juggling concert with hundreds of tennis balls, turbulent encounters and self-produced music. Their aesthetic is raw, experimental and full of mistakes.

My!Laika & Terrible for President
No Magic for President
Zeitgenössischer Zirkus
Brain-teasers of amazement and tricks of dubious quality. Welcome to the double show: "Terrible for President" and "No Magic" each present their 30 best minutes of nonsense. In "Terrible for President", nothing is true and everything is allowed. A glorification of paradox and contradiction with half lies and half stories. "No Magic" delivers a show that conceals nothing and presents itself so parodically that it becomes serious. With stunts and contortions that cause instant confusion. P.S. Bring a phone with Telegram installed.

Chinchilla Spin-off, waswas
Lecture Performance
photo: Fabian Raabe
"No intention - just Tourette's, Christian Hempel sends ahead quickly when he is among people. His rants and motorised outbursts cannot be controlled. Tourette's syndrome seeks confrontation and leads to conflict. This spin-off of the production of "Chinchilla Arschloch, waswas" tells of the fear of losing control and verbal attacks.And asks the question of what normality actually is. How much unintentionality can theatre withstand?

A circus full of dirt, glittering vegetables, ginger antlers and potato DJs. Inka and Imogen, officially known as the "Fake Fucking Farmers", invite you to a punk fashion farm: between fashion and farming, they seek the best of both worlds. This contradiction makes sense. A provocative, absurd performance that playfully combines circus, live sound installations and performance art.With the recommendation: Roll around in the mud more often!

ELFENBEIN. Annäherung an ein fleischloses Erbe
Theaterperformance
photo: André Wirsig
What (in)visible legacies do we carry around with us? An inherited ivory tooth becomes the occasion for a search for responsibility in a society whose colonial legacy still resides in museums, cellars and bodies. Between mourning rituals, the search for family traces and speculative science fiction, the artists make the fleshless heritage tangible. Each of them individually and all of them together seek an attitude, a view of the tooth and its time.

A modest band accompanies a funeral ceremony. But this time neither the priest nor the deceased turn up. The musicians spend the seemingly endless, uncomfortable waiting time with the mourners who have arrived. With trumpet, euphonium and drums, the trio transforms the dramatic situation into a comedy of accidents. Three marvellous clowns make us laugh about life and death with the simplest of means.

The powerful production fuses hip-hop and dabke. The starting point for Souhail Marchiche and Mehdi Meghari's choreographic work is a snapshot of the Balata camp on the West Bank.

Tanz

The encounter between the monumental, enigmatic sculpture "Le Grand Faune" by Paul Dardé, which was created in 1920, and the dancer Lisandre Casazza gives rise to a dance of metamorphosis. In an intense physicality, the dancer herself seems to take on the form of the faun. Both the choreography and the soundtrack are imbued with the laughter of the faun sculpture: It shakes the body and sets it in seismic motion.

"The Blue Table" reveals surprising facts about the exciting mating habits of garden snails and answers the puzzling question of where birds disappear to when the lake freezes over.

The performance, inspired by feminist criticism of body norms, examines the self- and external exploitation of FLINTA* bodies. "betweeness" addresses the pressure exerted by social media: What happens when our body optimisation crosses the line into the grotesque?

A pagan myth, a beautiful monster, an in-between creature of woman-man and animal-humanoid. Lophius is the name of the character who literally invites the audience to taste his fish head. This performance uses physical theatre as a language of absurdity and black humour. The raw material of this show is a real fish, which is eaten by the audience at the end: Lophius Piscatorius, known as anglerfish or monkfish.

Marcel et ses drôles de femmes
Masacrade
Zeitgenössischer Zirkus
photo: Loïc Nys
Acrobatic flights of fancy and humorous absurdities in seven suicidal acts and 25 costumes on the flying trapeze! Three performers explore the absurd complexity of human existence and question life. In a firework display of death variations, they try to understand the meaning of life. The acrobatic trio delivers a clever and fast-paced tragicomedy with plenty of humour and grandiose characters, full of surprising twists.

Noose
Figurentheater
A surrealistic puppet show between black comedy and absurd theatre, with grotesque puppets and dark humour. Noose is the day when you realise that you are not experiencing what you wanted. The moment when your world collapses and the noose tightens around your neck because until then you thought you would live. On a small stage, our lives are exposed - the lives that were never lived.

Sawdust Symphony
Zeitgenössischer Zirkus
photo: Cosmin Cirstea
A perfectly orchestrated DIY symphony between contemporary circus and craft obsession. The trio combines their passion for tools, fresh wood and object manipulation. Without words, they tell of the human desire for work, the process from the initial vision to the finished workpiece, the tragedy of labour and the relationship between man and machine. An ingenious performance between clouds of sawdust.

Zeitgenössischer Zirkus

The pedals rotate around the wheels, the wheels rotate around the space and envelop the spectators in a unique vortex. Imbalance and the search for balance take centre stage here. The circle in which the two artistic cyclists revolve is drawn ever tighter. "Duet" leaves any form of linear narrative behind, driven by the conviction that circus and dance owe no explanations.

Why do we get rid of surplus things only to accumulate new ones? Is what Diogenes demanded in ancient Greece still possible today - to renounce consumption? A solo full of improvisation talent and sparkling spontaneity.

Join the ravishing "Trash Salad" on her quest for connection: a genre-bending burlesque adventure that uses lip-synching, striptease and song to try to understand intimacy. Some call it a clown opera, a sexual odyssey or a compost pile romance. Trash calls it a cheerful queer-femme love story in the form of a salad. Uninhibited and astonishing.

Schnitzel of Love

A radical, anarchic piece of puppet theatre and a bitter fairy tale: A woman has a piece of flesh cut out of her stomach by a slightly crumpled Anubis and sews a cute schnitzel creature out of it. In the boiling fat of the pan, the strange creature sings the hymn of anticipation of its reincarnation. Only to be fed to the beast afterwards. The subtext is adorably macabre: transforming heartache into positive energy.

Transgangster
Transgangster
Performance
AT.Tension Transgangster operates at the intersection of performance, sound and his transition. His current performances focus on the rebirth of a non-binary futuristic body, Dusty Celestis. Ephemeral sounds of the voice in hormonal transition oscillate, gathering the immediate senses and recalling the 'Transcestors'. The sounds are vocalization tools designed to decode the human category system that has pre-determined the attributes of our bodies. Dusty invites us to release and transform internalized conceptions about our bodies. The spectator's gaze and Dusty's strategies for shifting this gaze are negotiated as Dusty is able to inhabit and recombine different attributes of the human body. Dusty talks about the process of letting go of internalized constructions of shame about ourselves from a non-binary perspective. The performance concludes by embedding Transgangster's experimental bass tracks in progress. Sprechgesang merges with ambient, breakbeats and rap.

Audio-Intervention
On February 19, 2020, a right-wing extremist terrorist murdered nine people. Six others were injured, some of them seriously. The perpetrator had published racist pamphlets before the crime and was known to the authorities. With the audio intervention, which uses construction site lamps as a means of communication in public space, we address the demands of the February 19 Initiative for remembrance, justice, clarification and consequences.

Intrepida
Intrepida
Performance
A child in Mexico showed me what the word "intrepido" means. On a mountain we had left the easy path up to make our way cross-country between cacti and agaves. The mountain was rocky and the climb was steep, but her parents weren't worried about her. Instead of helping her climb a large rock or even lifting her up, they shouted to her, “Use your hands to climb! Let's go, let's move on! Keep going!" And so she climbed one rock after the other, made her way, became aware of her abilities and with each challenge she trusted a little more in herself and her body. She didn't have to be afraid because she was aware of her limitations. Intrepido is the quality of not stopping in front of dangers, not fearing them, and preferring to climb a rock across country rather than take the asphalt path. The beautiful location of Karl Kutter invites me to explore this word within circus performance and perhaps inspire one or two daring ideas.

A festival of contrasts, for young and old, equally confusing for everyone. Whoever clowns here has understood nothing!!! Presented by: MC Stressmoment, Schwester Jonathan, Der Verrückte Prozessor, Die Alte Frechheit, MC Drehmoment, Die Goldwaage and Die Künstlerische Leiter.

What did Bolsonaro do particularly well during his time in office? What happens to the empty nuclear power plants? Why is the Adriatic Sea in MeckPom? What does classism have to do with house building? And where do you go on holiday in your SUV? To be allowed to drink at the mobile bar, you first have to find answers to these most pressing questions of the modern age.
RIOT - What happened at the Stonewall Inn?
VR-Installation
This VR experience shows an important milestone in queer history: the Stonewall Riots of 1969, when the oppressed queer community in New York defended itself against police arbitrariness, abuse and violence. The riots gave rise to Christopher Street Day, which is now celebrated annually around the world. Immerse yourself in the bar where it all began with our VR experience: the Stonewall Inn.

Kulku
Konzert
Formed in Berlin at the turn of the millennium, Kulku have evolved as a highly unique and free-formed collective of musicians. They make trance-inducing, jazz-entwined, percussive and (mostly) acoustic soulful music that takes cues from the rhythmic propulsion of Jaki Leibezeit’s Can, the street-folk of Moondog, the minimalism of Steve Reich, and the droning rock ‘n’ roll of the Velvet Underground, forming a sound that they themselves have coined ‘No-Age Krautrock’.

Point No Point is the solo project of Berlin-based musician Jana Sotzko. Live it becomes a full band. While the debut album “Drift” sounded like an introverted inventory of a state of ambiguity and aimlessness, the new record "Bad Vibes In Mushroom Forest" takes clearer directions: it moves into the forest, under the microscope, on the deck of the research ship. While a bit of melancholy and doubt remain anyway, curiosity and a joy in the fantastic prevail and translate into jazz-influenced experimental pop songs as a form of confused energy.

Deborah Feldman
Lesung aus ihrem Buch "Judenfetisch"
Lesung
What does “being Jewish” mean today? Deborah Feldman, who was raised by Holocaust survivors in the USA and emigrated to Germany of all places, talks about a term that is always also an attribution, a limitation, a projection, both negative and positive. Her examination of her cultural heritage - and the burden associated with it - also includes the endeavor to integrate Jewishness into something larger, more diverse, more humane. It is a plea for more togetherness across borders - and an encouragement to all those who want to free themselves from the trap of group pressure in order to define their identity freely and self-determinedly.

Einblick in die transformative Arbeit
Workshop
Transformative justice - what does it actually mean? Where does the approach come from? What can we learn from it for dealing with discrimination and (sexualised) violence in our structures and communities? How can our own environment create preventative structures that facilitate the sudden need to deal with transgressions and protect and support those affected? How can we deal with people who perpetrate violence? After a brief historical context, a report on experiences will be presented and the methods used will be tried out together. Small groups can familiarise themselves with the basics, exchange experiences and discuss overlaps with the awareness approach. A workshop for inexperienced interested parties and experienced practitioners.

On Saturday, we'll be building dolls, ghosts and creatures from discarded items - whether they're hinged mouths or large figures. And then on Sunday we want to see how the new creations move and move us. At the end of the workshop there will be a small performance in which we will show everyone who wants to see our world made of rubbish. The workshop lasts three days. You can take part every day or just on individual days. It is possible to join in on any day. We will continue to work on what has already been created. Nothing will be wasted.

Furchen und Dellen
Lesung
The death of her eccentric grandfather throws Chris' life into turmoil. To say goodbye, she returns to the small town where she grew up, but from which she ran away head over heels over six years ago. She slips back into the life she had back then, with Doro, Rafa and Antonia, who decided seven years ago to raise a child together as a family of choice. Together with Chris, actually. Bit by bit, she realizes why she ran away from responsibility back then and what it all had to do with her grandfather. She realizes what an influence he had on her, the man who immediately pounced on any perceived mistake. It was his eyes that always watched over her and guided her gaze.

Geschlechtervielfalt – Eine Einführung ins Spektrum der Geschlechter
Workshop
How does sex or gender influence one's own life? An information section will deal with the different levels of gender, in which we will look at both biological sex and gender. Among other things, we will provide information about intersexuality and consider together how an inclusive setting can be created in the various areas of life in connection with gender and what has already been achieved there. We can also reflect on the influence of gender on ourselves and what this means for each individual.

Initiative Feministischer Circus (ifc)
Panel Talk: Frauenbilder im zeitgenössischem Zirkus
Panel
Images of women* on stage. Circus is often described as inclusive, non-elitist and diverse. But what is the real state of diversity, especially with regard to women* in circus? In this event, we will take a critical look at the structures and expectations in circus that grant women* strength and muscles on the one hand, but at the same time force them into ideals of beauty and clichés. Based on two plays, we ask: How are these performances created? Which art historical and activist perspectives influence the scene? And what can feminist approaches look like on stage without falling into binary gender clichés?

Die Zukunft ist nicht binär! Es gibt nur zwei Geschlechter? Von wegen!
Lesung
People are more than either or. Nevertheless, our language, our media and our everyday lives are characterised by the assumption that there are only two genders that are binary; our entire culture is shaped by this. We encounter the binary gender order everywhere. The two-gender system is not only incomplete, it also excludes. For many people, it doesn't fit, it feels wrong. When the awareness and media attention are increasing, anti-trans and anti-queer voices are becoming louder and are trying with all their might to defend the binary gender system. Yet there is great potential to overcome the rigid binary system. What would we be without it? Can we overcome it? What would we gain from it? A book for anyone who wants to dare to leave old norms and constraints behind.

JUDENHASS UNDERGROUND. Antisemitismus in emanzipatorischen Subkulturen und Bewegungen.
Lesung
Nobody wants to be anti-Semitic. Especially not in subcultures and movements with a progressive, emancipatory self-image. But hatred of Jews also goes underground - whether rappers against Rothschilds, DJs for Palestine or punks against apartheid. BDS, the boycott campaign against the Jewish state, wants to hijack almost every issue, from class struggle to climate justice. Well-known myths reappear in alternative forms, at Pride demonstrations, at the documenta or in remembrance of the terror of Hanau. And many Jews ask themselves where their place should be in such scenes.

Physisches Theater
Workshop
Introduction to dramatic and expressive movement. A solid foundation of physical theatre is taught through various exercises from pantomime, object manipulation, clowning, the Lecoq method and Mime Corporel. We learn to stand on the axis, to use body language consciously, to isolate movements and to create funny, grotesque, expressive images with our bodies - in short: to play virtuosically with the rhythm and form of the body in space. In the spirit of theatre. We touch on practically all the principles of the stage, at least those of acting: presence, precision, neutrality, character, figure, status, focus, rhythm, dramaturgy and what they are all called. The whole thing is also fun since we take a physical, practical approach!

We will introduce you to the process and let you experiment while you create your own print. The technique of blueprinting can be combined well with reflection on your own "waste footprint". So you will be invited to walk around the festival and collect human waste such as rubbish, food, damaged plants, etc., which you can then incorporate into your cyanotype creation. You can either make your own work or participate in a large collaborative work that will be exhibited during the festival!

Und dann Politisierung?! Momente, Prozesse, Reflektionen
Lesung
Becoming, being and remaining politically active in order to fight for a fairer world - this is an ongoing process for many people. The anthology we want to present brings together diverse stories about the opportunities, hurdles and challenges of politicisation. With this book, we want to invite people to critically scrutinise collective processes, to reflect on themselves and to relate to others. It is for all those who are looking for ways to participate in contemporary emancipatory struggles, for those who are already involved and for those who are struggling. How did you become politically active? What unsettled you, what did you stumble upon? How and why do people politicise themselves today? Why are some of our fellow travellers no longer involved? What contradictions are there in the relationship between the individual and the group in activism for a fairer world? We would like to discuss these questions with you through the reading.

Vergesellschaftung - Vorstellen der Kampagne RWE und co enteignen
Workshop
What would energy production look like if the power to decide on our basic need for energy was no longer in the hands of large corporations but in the hands of society? What would a democratisation of the economy look like? How does the direct democratic means of a referendum work, taking NRW as an example? What does it take in the movement to really implement socialisation and expropriate RWE and co? The workshop will deal with these and other questions. And shows the current state of the campaign to expropriate RWE and Co as part of an emerging socialisation movement. With socialisation we can finally implement the system change, because we see that no state will implement it. We can organise our basic needs anti-capitalistically and self-organised, democratically.
