Anniversary Special

AN INTERACTIVE ANNIVERSARY INSTALLATION ON MÜNSTERPLATZ: THERE WILL BE CRAFTING, STRIPPING, DANCING, SHOWERING, DICING,… COME ALONG AND JOIN IN!

Cakes and candles belong to a round birthday like the Aare to Bern. For three days, we will therefore be staging and celebrating our very own special birthday cake on Münsterplatz – and what a cake it is! The Münsterplatz is our cake, and the four-metre-high towers of scaffolding elements arranged in a circle are our candles. Each candle tower stands for a Buskers year, and something happens in each one – inside, in front of or around it, coordinated with the respective year’s subject. It’s up to you, because together we tinker, fiddle, sing, drink, shower, fear, dice, chill, drive, crank and cheer. Curious? Dive into our cake universe and let us surprise you!

Kompanie Affenherz

Pavor, the embo­di­ment of fear, only shows up late at night: The over­si­zed, head­less mons­ter poss­es­ses a stran­ge, elusi­ve range of moti­on. It seems as if the advan­cing hands conduct the rest of the body. Impressive!
