Inspired by Forró, Xaxado, Baião and Xote, ABACATE transforms the sedate alleyways of Bern into the tropical beach promenades of Fortaleza or Recife. The gifted musician Luiz Murakami and his trio invite you to a first-class Latin fusion session – a gozar, saudade!
ADRIFT hoists the sails and takes you on a trip full of acrobatics, spiced with a humorous take on life. With incredible ease, the duo creates figures and images that are smashed against the cliffs in the next moment. Fast-paced, contemporary circus at its best!
unplugged
The high-calibre trio will take you on a musical journey from Ticino via Emmental and Appenzell to the Andes in a lively and unabashed manner. Thanks to Nina Dimitri’s beguiling voice, any (stylistic) boundaries are easily overcome – a première!
This is exactly how Naples feels: sensual, emotional and dirty-beautiful! For three decades, ASSURD has been leading audiences into the middle of a full life with their powerful, guttural voices, bringing the musical heritage from Southern Italy into the present – a beguiling firework!
unplugged
This charismatic string quartet will turn your preconceptions about classical musicians upside down with its spectacular mix of upbeat classical music, comedy songs and well known film, pop and rock tunes. A humorous, virtuoso and impressively physical show. Rock me Amadeus!
Inspired by traditional Chinese performing arts, CHO KAIRIN creates a show full of acrobatics, juggling, transformation (“Mask Changer”) and acting. The brilliant highlight is his balancing act on a twelve-meter-high chair tower. Breathtaking!

Backstage is onstage: An artist with massive blackout problems gets ready for his show – to make matters worse, the wardrobe seems to have a mind of its own: Props disappear and the mirror image takes on a life of its own. Humorous and surprising!
Based on «Dear John, …» letters, this old break-up concept is applied and refreshed in a new musical purpose. The string quartet skilfully performs virtuoso Southern Gospel, Bluegrass and Old-Time to new grooves, transcendent rhythms and tap dance.
Bongos, bouzouki and Farfisa organ in abundance! The energetic quartet from Marseille plays forgotten hits that once set Athens on fire. An explosive cocktail of Rock’n’Roll and trad. Tsifteteli from the 1960s in Greece – pure Mediterranean hip-wiggling drama!
Rap, Rumba, Folk and Feminism – Jewish music never sounded so eclectic. With energy and invention, four travelling musicians and a fiery frontwoman give tradition a facelift. A woman dressed as a rabbi, a romance between clarinet and violin, what else?

ELECTRIC CIRCUS – the masters and pioneers of electromechanical puppet theater – are back with their new show – a première! You peer through little windows into a miniature pub – an animation without a movie becomes a spectacular live-motion performance.
In the early 1900s, the queer, drag and flamenco scenes come together in Barcelona’s harbour districts Raval and Poble Sec. Inspired by this, FLAMENCO QUEER explore identities and flamenco on stage – a powerful and passionate electro-trad. Drag fantasy – unique, olé!
Basic English
A fast-paced mixture of circus tricks, improvisation and comedy routines, mixed with a pinch of British humour: These are the characteristics of this talented duo. Controlled chaos, crazy fun, interactive and spontaneous – no two shows are the same!

The Hobbel Brommobiel makes all happy who refuses to grow up! After a strict driver’s license check off you go on a speedy ride. Incredibly entertaining for all spectators too. P.S.: Wearing a helmet or alternative headgear is recommended.
The sextet takes you into a world of pulsating rhythms and captivating melodies. Traditional and new Swiss Folk music harmonises with Jazz, fiery Balkan rhythms merge with Irish Folk. Let yourself be enchanted by this magic of musical diversity!
“Attention Humans! This is HENGE. We are not from this world. We bring you music from distant planets. We offer this gift for the edification of humankind so that eventually your species may put an end to war and set up new homes in space.”
A network of paths and branches that can only be mastered with skill and brains. Solve mechanical challenges and visual puzzles to open the blockades and avoid being stuck in the labyrinth forever. Great fun for everyone!
A road trip that ends abruptly: The six friends are stranded in the middle of the wilderness and a story of love, humor and madness unfolds: fast-paced, incredibly precise acrobatics full of humour – impressive and unique!
It becomes clear that the boys from across the Jura pay tribute to the hidden powers of barley when they perform their wild and amusing stage costume show. Refreshing with subtle flavours ranging from Chanson Festive to Hip-Hop and Punk – santé, glouglou.

Step into the micro-cinema, into this childlike dream world full of mechanical inventions! Watch out: The characters of the movie suddenly burst out of the screen. A poetic, sensual experience on all levels, accompanied by live music.
8 min./show
The Cyr Wheel spins too fast and is always one spin ahead of Mikail. The result is a witty, mimically strong performance with few props: red socks, a person and a ring. A tribute to the feeling of being “too late”, winner of several awards.
Breaking news! Incredibly grown due to the consumption of junk food and food waste, giant beetles are crawling through Bern’s alleyways. “Don’t panic!” says the forester and tries to bring the giant creatures under control.
basic English
for adults
A play about the last living dog in the world, its “master” and the big question: What is important in life and what happens when a breed dies out? A philosophical treatise, grotesque, irritating and hilarious.
A musical monster: exuberant, multivocal, bewitching and disturbing all at once. The twisted multi award-winning brass band sounds like Steve Reich and Andy Warhol with a Bulgarian women’s choir between them, staggering through Oktoberfest – beautiful and dead drunk.
mid Postgasse
18 – 20, 20.45 – 22.30, 23 – 24
Happiness to go: Fill the Take Care Kits with what you need right now: a little peace, a little love, a little bit of everything?! A poetic, loving approach to the existential question of happiness: What do you need to be happy?
18 – 20.30, 21.30 – 24
A six meter long wall full of old phones – who or what is waiting for you at the other end of the wire? Pick up, listen and maybe even communicate… A whimsical and playful installation, full of surprises.

A mobile home in the truest sense of the word, only much more playful. Sit on the loo or step into the living room and make yourself comfortable on the sofa while you are driven through Bern’s old town. Live out mobility at home!
unplugged
Bass clarinet and bandoneón – the alchemy of two unique sound colours, Orient and Tango fever united in Rembetic laments and Milongas Porteñas. Raoul roams the underworld from Athens to Buenos Aires, driven by trade winds, gusts, storms and whispers – magical!
Zorro and Toni Tortuga sing about the legendary mouse from “Münsterspitz”, Jimmy Flitz and about the Xenegugeli ABC. Interactive, spontaneous and close to the little and adult audience members.
With deep punk grooves coated in bass synths and New Orleans Jazz horn lines, Rum Buffalo have built an unforgettable live show. Forged on the rough streets of London, these ruthless renegades will keep your blood pumping and your body moving with their cutting sound.

In the ocean blue trailer you dive into a poetic underwater story. An artistic interweaving of musical clowning, puppetry and intellectual madness. Visualized by spatulas, wheels and waves, the sensitive view of the world becomes a great show.
The song Anchor Point by Ahmed Spins feat. Kologo star STEVO ATAMBIRE has 44 million clicks on Spotify… The band fuses traditional Ghanaian sounds with electronic music and rousing brass sections – a bridge-building, captivating firework. Dance the night away!
This highly virtuosic quintet traces the rich treasures of trad. Music of the Levant and Caucasia. Thousands of years of musical heritage from Moldova, Kurdistan, Armenia, Syria, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon and the Roma can be experienced live in Bern’s alleys!
In the middle of the lake, the pirate is looking for friends and something to eat. He meets the lake police, instead, and they find his rock-punk-trash sound far too loud and only welcome him when they find out about his pirate money. Undeterred by the incidents, the pirate continues his concert and his story. A colourful musical mix of styles for young and old, with traditional Schwiizerörgeli sounds and the muffled bass of a rock guitar.
…and suddenly there are three giraffes in the middle of Bern’s old town! They stalk through the alleyways at a fast pace, elegantly strecking their long necks to nibble on leaves or bending down to stroke passers-by.
from 6 years on
Two little plastic cups play the main characters on the minimalist stage, balancing between love, disappointment and rejection. A sensitive, highly precise object theater of the highest class! Delicate and intense at the same time.
Junkerngasse

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!
With a healthy Viennese f*ck it-attitude full of rough edges, the exceptional singer songwriter performs Solo. The Dresden native, who lives in Vienna, sings about searching and finding, building up and destroying – openly, self-critically and unsparingly.
Founded in the legendary neighbourhoods of Sacromonte and Albaicín in Granada, where the flamenco tradition is deeply rooted, the young, hot-blooded collective fuses music and dance into authentic, all-round Andalusian fireworks – olé!
The love of klezmer music and Yiddish language unites these young female musicians. They are committed to telling touching stories full of pain, anger and longing. Powerful, self-confident and emotionally charged, the collective invents a new tomorrow – infectious!
in the middle of Postgasse
From the festival’s hustle and bustle directly into the silence of an underwater world, a brain or a small town at night? Quite possible! Stretch your head into a Dromoscope and dive into a world of carefully arranged moving objects, sounds and smells.

Saurians are extinct, aren’t they? Not quite! The imposing beasts roam around Buskers Bern in search of food. Only thanks to their leader, who has them mercilessly under control, Bern’s alleys do not sink into total chaos. Watch out!
The Rabeca master sings about the joys of life and metaphors of being with the unique Brazilian fiddle. Skilfully, seductively and lustfully, the quartet meanders through the northeastern Música Popular: Frevo, Forró, Maracatu, Samba, Cavalo Marinho – Saudade!
Dance and puppet theater surprisingly combined – solo, duo and trio at the same time. A jealous puppet, a complex relationship and the questions: Who is in control, and who is dependent on whom? Multilayered, humorous and impressive!
Travel with the talented newcomers through the coloratura of jazz to Paris in the 1920s – and back to the here and now. Dizzyingly fast-paced, virtuosic and mischievous, this refreshing quartet serves up swing manouche, valse musette and bossa nova.
These artists are griots – singers, poets, storytellers and instrumentalists by birth and profession – and delight us with the richness of traditional West African dances, mandingo songs and Sabar rhythms. Dancing and singing along highly recommended!
Mr. Culbuto, a 320kg man, is dropped off at various locations by the Delivery Boy. There he waits for a playmate. He leans down, shakes hands, flirts and straightens up again as if by magic. Amusant et impressionnant!
Punchy reggae, uplifting rock, deep reverberating didgeridoo, acoustic folk, thunderous drum solos and inspirational lyrics. The two brothers have so much to offer – and much more live on stage! Dangerously electrifying energy with addictive potential!
The soloists of the world-famous Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares are known for their virtuoso singing style, based on excellent technique. In search of purity and originality, they interpret traditional songs in a modern way as well – goose bumps guaranteed!
Flaira, the charming multi-talent and charismatic bundle of energy, takes you on a trip through the pulsating music and dance culture of north-east Brazil. Frevo, Capoeira, Forró, Maracatu, Côco, Caboclinho paired with Rock and Pop – yes, it works, and how!
lower Gerechtigkeitsgasse
Sounds escape from an unusual arrangement of bicycles. Through various mechanisms you compress air, generate electricity and circulate water. You capture the sounds produced with a stethoscope. A mechanical-acoustic self-made experience!
A show full of interactivity, acute absurdity and mesmerizing manipulation. Juggling takes centre stage: Grant dances in the face gravity. Funny, precise, engaging and charmingly virtuosic!
Five vintage virtuosos from Naples, adopted by Paris: Listening to them, is like immersing yourself in a Fellini movie with all its cinematic wonders – excessive, earthy and generous. Italian elegance paired with French charm. Heart, pain, dynamite!
The Berlin-based band creates diasporic sounds. Named after Jamila’s Palestinian grandmother, they fight racism with vibrant guitar riffs, Arabic percussion, Jamila’s powerful vocals and empowering lyrics. Discover the hero in you and make the world a better place!
What to do when the book is more exciting than the other person? Handstands on Pasi’s head don’t help either, so Kate throws him off his chair without further ado. An energetic Pas de Deux with hand-on-hand acrobatics and foot juggling. Entertaining and impressive.
Unique line-up, committed lyrics, distinctive aesthetics and above all – POWER! La Nefera raps her way from cumbia, reggaeton, baile funk to hip hop, trap, jazz and afrobeat with a captivating stage presence and powerful voice. A bailar y festejar – vamos!
Celtic Folk, trad. Scottish, Eastern European Gypsy, Prog Jazz, Old-Time American? Oh yeah. But no. Simply unique, orchestral, highly virtuosic, monumental, superbly harmonised, breathtakingly emotional and intense with punk spirit – terrific!
Wäbere-Chäuer: Vaulted Cellar of Restaurant Zunft zu Webern, Gerechtigkeitsgasse 68 (Venue Nr. 23)
The Langnouerli performs in the limelight and all around something is brewing in the Wäbere-Chäuer: a gourmet menu for the ears, cooked by many chefs who don’t spoil the broth but season the soup exquisitely. Different every evening and all the way through. Play along and/or listen!
Langnauerörgeli (= Diatonic Accordion), born 1836* in Langnau in the Emmental: Various harp makers/Harfner and Langnauerörgeli creators have been building the so-called Langnouerli for almost 200 years. The best-known single-row, 2‑chord Härpfli with 3 basses captivates with its manageability and its special sound.
Participation / Terms & Conditions: With festival bracelet only. All musicians are welcome! Play along after consultating with the fix band, the coordinator is Thomas Aeschbacher. After max. 3 tunes, please allow other musicians a chance as well.
no wheelchair access, entry with festival bracelet only
The inhabitants from the Emmental invented the Swiss Diatonic Accordion. Now their Langnouerli with its Schwyzerörgeli descendants and virtuoso accompanists are rocking the cellar of the Wäbere – maybe with YOU as a spontaneous player on the open stage in between?

Kornhausplatz
The huge, impressive Gwagwamobil makes a stop at the Kornhausplatz. In its luggage: handmade analog cameras and an integrated photo lab, where photos up to 1.3 meters in size can be developed. Let yourself be portrayed!
in the middle of Gerechtigkeitsgasse, only in teams of 1 adult with 1 child
18 – 20h / 20.30 – 22.30h
The turtles invite you to the race of the giants. Teams of two compete against each other and pedal hard so that the giant turtles start moving. Unagitated and at the same time extremely exciting: Who will win? Cheering is encouraged.
Two bodies merge, merge into figures and dissolve again. Smooth movements, perfected choreographies, extended by a large double ring, which sometimes takes two people in itself. Contemporary dynamic acrobatics!
Mr. Chiovelli and Mr. von Luc are psychologists, magicians and cocktailers at the same time. Enter a mini-world of magic elixirs: tell your troubles and be cured by a magic show combined with a drink tailored to you.
From the vast desert to the narrow old town: Majestically, the huge camel moves through the alleys. The sheer appearance of Chamôh tells of wanderlust and foreign smells. When it lowers its head from a height of 5 meters, you might even be able to pet it.
Circus and comedy mixed explosively: The Canadians present a fast-paced show with a human pyramid, tons of flips and complicated jump rope figures. And you can always roll the dice: The number of dice decides the next act.
> entry with festival bracelet only (one each)
There’s room for three people in the mini-pub. Ray will fiddle, play and sing the song you have chosen by rolling the dice – personally for you from the 121 songs listed, such as trad. Irish, Elton John, David Bowie, Steely Dan, Pearl Jam or who knows? Sláinte!
They are back with a big bag of bangers! Influenced by Rage Against the Machine, Dead Prez or The Roots, Regime really heat things up with strong melodies, driving beats and committed political lyrics. Heavy dancing and partying for free thinking people – Yeah!
Siselabonga is a collaborative platform that aggregates music from West and South Africa with occidental sounds. Half organically, half synthetically, World Music clichés are skilfully bypassed and the audience is transported into danceable realms with relish.
Musically and visually, this wild troupe from London seems to have sprung from an early 20th Century travelling show, the charismatic front man from a Terry Gilliam movie. Their show is like sitting on a small boat in the stormy sea. No land in sight, party ahoy!
Robi and Rico are the outsiders of the school and attract trouble almost magically. But together they are strong, and reinvent themselves with the help of music and become the coolest guys in class. An empowering story for a young audience.
for adults, basic English
Jack-of-all-trades Matija is an exceptional master of puppetry: interactive, funny and accompanied by live music, he tells the story of a writer without ideas with his various puppets, which are driven by animation mechanisms, among other things. Brilliant!
The transatlantic duo convinces with a lot of talent, impressive craftsmanship, their very own groove and fascinating percussive style. They create a magical atmosphere with their exclusively self-composed instrumental and vocal tunes.
One day Mona catches a beautiful fish and takes it home with her. He becomes her best friend, but the fish becomes more and more homesick for his lake. A story about friendship and letting go told with dance and music.
Puppetry, acting and projection combined in the most refined way! A retro-futuristic dystopia of a not too distant future, where the smartphone dominates society. Will we one day be able to store our souls on our hard drives? Up-to-date and brilliant!
Please note:
Due to health reasons all shows of Trukitrek (“Clic” and “Jukebox”) have to be cancelled today Saturday, August 12. We regret the cancellation and wish a speedy recovery.
Remember? Jukebox has been here before – at the very first Buskers Bern! Now they are back with their refreshing, highly amusing cabaret show: Living puppets present the greatest hits of all time. Still as ravishing as 20 years ago!
from 8 years on, not suitable for the faint hearted!
Finally Serge and Zola stop in Bern with their burlesque puppet theatre and present a circus show of the bloody kind: The best of the worst will be on display – blood splatters to the back rows. En piste les artistes, death awaits you!
Terrible: They are wolfwolfin’ again… howl at graves and thirst for blood, go to hell and climb to heaven. My goodness, how beautiful is this! Beautifully creepy. We warned you, now it is too late, now you have to go through it. Time to say hello!
With enormous joy and imagination in playing, the quartet sails from one Mediterranean port to the next: Marseille, Heraklion, Athens and Istanbul. Salty and lively serenades from Crete, string orgies and tavern devilries – a highly virtuoso travel diary!
THU / FRI only
FRI / SAT only
Tied to a wheelchair, Brigitte travels in her mind to times long past: She meets her former, great love and herself as a young girl. An incredibly expressive, fascinating performance with dance, theater and puppetry. World class!
continuously repeated show, duration 5 min.
Curtain up for Zélie Barrett and her scuffed suitcase. Boudoir or stage? No matter! From it emerges the luscious Madame Rita, who enchants you with erotic striptease. Two ladies you should not miss!

Áirc Damhsa (Irish = dance) agus Ceoil (Irish = music) from the rough North West of Ireland have all grown up immersed and deeply rooted in the traditions of Irish culture. Now directly from the pub to Bern’s alleys: authentic, full of life and bursting with energy – Sláinte!
Fashion trends come and go. Only the Mexican mambo, the moustaches and pom-pom hairstyles of this combo outlast all the stylistic whims of show business. Cool as always, hotter than ever, languidly seductive. Swing your hips – caaaaaliente!
An exquisite fusion of musical heavyweights from southern Italy: four voices and numerous instruments present old, Neapolitan villanelles, serenades, tammurriate, work and emigration songs as well as original compositions – a sensually beguiling firework!
Funaná, Carimbó, Coladeira mean nothing to you? Then pack your dancing shoes and let yourself be whisked away! Ayom are irresistible musical navigators who cross the Atlantic on the routes of the African diaspora, from Brazil, Angola and Cape Verde to the Mediterranean.
The passion for dance and hip-hop of the five performers is palpable: Through precise, synchronous movements they create poetic figures, which are torn apart in the next moment by energetic breakdance elements. Acrobatics and rhythm merge into a fiery body game! Street dance at a high level.
They are big fans of Fat Freddy’s Drop, Bob Marley or The Cat Empire and fuse reggae, dub, soul and pop into a groovy sound. Thanks to their stage presence, good humour and positive energy are transmitted as if by magic. Don’t just sway – dance away!
The queens of banjopunk, three Swedish sisters by the name of Baskery play a combination of classic ‘roots music and Americana’ with a twist of rule breaking punk. They turn this much loved style of music on it’s head with style and playfulness – woohoo!
open 18 – 23h
Together, chase a metal ball through a tricky maze! You have to roll around the mechanical obstacles, catch the magnetic ball lift and solve the puzzle with the gears. The oversized wooden marble run invites you to play!
Susi brings a wealth of clowning and improvisation experience – no show is like the other. She takes out all kinds of magic, mischief and music from her suitcase and spontaneously creates with love and wit new stories about absurd everyday situations.
Estelle and Vassili tell stories from the Black Sea to Paris in frenzied rhythms. Their brilliant travelling companions are the manouche guitar, the Greek bouzouki, the Russian accordion and the Romanian Gypsy fiddle. Deepest nostalgia meets highest virtuosity!
The oversized Lobster embodies the fusion of robotics, mechanics and electronics. Based on 3D puzzles and controlled as if by magic, he develops his own personality. A wink to robotics, a search for closeness.
On Münsterplatz, fertilised by city dirt, a metaphorical landscape of mechanical plants and a moving illuminated water fountain flourished virtually overnight. Machines breathe and mechanics grow – cheers to the fantastic hybrid life form!
Fraser skilfully mixes improvised interaction and brilliant comedy to create a hilarious show – including a stunt duck, human fish and a boxing match. Who dares to compete against the award-winning New Zealander? A performance also for the stomach muscles!
Fantastic creatures of the swamp and forest world are hunting humans at the Buskers – because humans are their elixir of life. With their nice appearance they seem harmless – but appearances are deceptive. Watch out!
Concentrated energy: The acrobats whirl through the air, somersault over the jump rope and shine in other disciplines. Technical virtuosity merges with Cuban temperament. A firework of acrobatic skills!
With “Vida”, Javier succeeded in creating a jewel and an exciting exploration of traditional puppetry: his hands transform into touching characters – an amazing, captivating, intimate and amusing reflection on life. Simply impressive!
Incredibly virtuoso, charismatic and precise vocal and viola acrobat, original arranger/composer, vocal wonder and performer with comedy talent and political commitment. Stylistically she can’t be pigeonholed, from old to world music to Viennese cabaret – stunningly brilliant!
Joshua Monten’s new show is an unconventional pas de deux between bodies and printed text. A mash-up of fancy footwork, pulsing rhythms and playful word games. The results range from the simple to the sublime, wish a dash of absurdity.
Start of first show: 18.00h, duration: 15min, 15pers/show, 8 shows/day / Tickets available at the bus (for the same day only)
The bus is a playground for a wide variety of sound objects. Some have already been tried and tested, others have just been invented. Not completely controllable, the alienated everyday objects develop a life of their own. An unparalleled visual and acoustic experiment!
The inhabitants from the “Emmental” invented the Swiss Diatonic Accordion. Now their “Langnouerli” and virtuoso accompanists are rocking the cellar of the “Wäbere” – with YOU as a spontaneous player on the open stage in between. For more Information check also: Langnouerli im Wäbere-Chäuer.

The best-known single-row, 2‑chord “Härpfli” with 3 basses captivates with its manageability and its special sound.
Washed up with the Aare, incubated by the summer heat, two tyrannus cubs recently hatched from two oversized eggs in Eichholz. Now the baby dinosaurs have found their way into the Old Town. Roaring and hungry, they roam Bern’s alleys. Keep your distance recommended!
open 18.30 – 20.30h, 21.30 – 23.30h / from 12 years
At the fair of the future you will find the game Unviersum by Micromégamondes: The mechanical embodiment of our imagination catapults you directly into the orbit of pleasure. Come, be amazed, join in the excitement and play!
Mirakolo convinces with a highly explosive blend of virtuosity and precision. This band from Bienne combines sleight of hand with familiar rhythms and challenges the audience with their unique mixture of danceable Jazz and Balkan grooves– simply miraculous!
Back at Buskers Bern: The award winning collective was born in the townships of South Africa and convinces by a fusion of anthemic uplifting vocals, psychedelic Folk and raw African rhythms. Experience and share their unique community spirit and pure emotion, laugh, cry and dance!
from 9 years
A baby doll with a human head and an overstrained mother put up with each other and take the mother-child relationship to extremes. Analogies with real people or facts are certain. A first-class short play, soaked in black humour and very strong in mime.
simple english
Behind the scenes is in front of the scenes – and there is pure chaos. Punching artists, costumes flying around, screaming managers. Combined with people whirling through the air at a height of 12m. Great comedy mixed with top-class trapeze art.
Inspired by the swing era of the 30s and 40s and peppered with original compositions solidly grounded in R’n’R, jazz and folk, the three gentlemen in tuxedos mix an explosive dance cocktail. Special guest: dancer and fakir woman Lalla Morte from Paris.
The three women break down boundaries: the original music and chant/yodel of the “Muotataler Juz” and the “Appenzeller Zäuerli” with its natural tones and polyphonic pure vibrations are enriched by the trio with improvisations. Vibrating and spherically enraptured!
Two charming kids – a mischievous accordionist and a violinist with a sweet voice – reshape the world in “guinguette” (old French tavern) style. Their comic-poetic compositions exude sometimes also a touch of Brazil and maple syrup. Be surprised!
Across all styles and with various instruments, the four musicians sing about the curious adventures of Schorsch and Oskar, about quiet farts and the sock monster. Funny lyrics and catchy melodies – not only for the little ones!
Swingful Joy! Intoxicated by the jazz of the early days, the seven musicians stagger through timeless hit material and blithely mix in original compositions. Presented with resounding joy of playing and a pinch of Dada. Hey, the roaring 20s have only just begun, right?!

Skiing in Bern’s alleys or becoming an iceberg in the middle of summer? Everything is possible with This Maag! Alpine madness mixed with interaction and a good dose of comedy. A show to melt away.
open Thu: 18 – 22h, Fri+Sa: 18 – 23h / from 8 years / 5 different theatre boxes / duration/box 8 min. / max. 3 pers./box
In just a few minutes, you stage great literary classics for one or two people on the suitcase theatre stage. The director sits in the headphones and guides you. A very amusing self-service theatre that puts simple everyday objects in the spotlight.
From Vienna to Dushanbe, from Rome to Manama, Treptow exports their German-language edgy guitar music to the rest of the world. Songs between big city romanticism and pub dance, with a voice that invites you to a glass of whiskey and a cough drop. “Berlin, ick liebe dir!”
Basura (Spanish) = rubbish. Face Basuringo – a primordial force with a voice, carrying an inherent knowledge from the depths of human existence…the enormous world we label as disposable.
Uusikuu (= New Moon) are one of the most intriguing interpreters of Finnish tango. Also, their vivacious humppas, swaying waltzes and jazzy foxtrot pieces tell the stories from the land of a thousand lakes. Old dance songs with new dynamics – the new moon arises anew!
The band name says it all… a pinch of New Orleans old-time jazz, a touch of Klezmer – excellent, original contemporary bohemian folk from the London underground! Louisa’s stunning vocals and the gently hallucinatory lyrics delight and touch deeply.
From the biggest stages to Buskers Bern: The Bandits delight us with their award-winning new album, a blend of blues and roots with a psychedelic touch. Stunning lap-slide guitar, beguiling voices, haunting Hammond organ – gentle and powerful, simply magnificent!
spontaneous / show 7min
Zélie Barett spontaneously turns up with her battered suitcase. Boudoir or stage? It doesn’t matter! Out of it emerges the voluptuous Madame Rita, who captivates and enchants you with her erotic striptease. Hopefully you will also meet these mysterious ladies!

Traditional flamenco reduced to its essence: The hot-blooded troupe tell and dance the stories of the Andalusian people, marked by longing and passion. Be inspired by the austere elegance and sharpen your palms –olé!
Mit grosser Konzentration balanciert Kolly Stein auf Stein – Figuren jenseits der Gesetze der Physik. Spitz steht auf Spitz, gross steht auf winzig. Kein Stein zu sperrig, um nicht Teil der Figur zu werden. Zum Staunen und selber Ausprobieren.
This is exactly how Naples feels: sensual, emotional and dirty-beautifully beguiling! For almost three decades, Assurd have been leading into the middle of a full life with their powerful, guttural voices and bringing the musical heritage from southern Italy into the present.
Auf acht Metern Höhe: ein atmosphärisches Konstrukt aus Metall, Holz, Stoff und Licht. Am Tag durchbricht der Unterbau aus Metall die organische Struktur eines Vogels, in der Nacht verwandelt sich die Installation in luftig leuchtende Objekte.
Traue deinen Augen, wir haben Besuch! Werde Zeuge einer Begegnung in friedlicher Absicht: Exoplanetare Wesen schweben auf Forschungsinvasion mit ihrer Antigravitationsmaschine durch deinen Tag X. Faszinierend dadaistisch.
The young, multitalented Claudia Masika embodies pure African charisma. With a huge portion of positive energy, great songs, a groovy band behind her and two new albums in her luggage, she conjures up a smile on everyone’s face and rhythm in your legs. Let’s dance!
Influenced by cinema aesthetics, lovable and extremely poetic, two stubborn mimes conquer their place on stage to perform a captivating „Pas de Deux” with subtle gestures, trapeze art and the finest slapstick. Expressive and highly amusing!
Unterwegs auf einem Riesenvogel suchen drei Entdecker ein neues Zuhause. Anmutig und gemächlich reiten sie auf Oîsoh durch Berns Gassen – der neugierige Vogel kann es nicht lassen, die Leute zu necken und seinen Schnabel in jedes offene Fenster zu stecken.
Die beiden androgynen Endzeitwesen verschmelzen mit Fassaden, Treppengeländern und Arkaden. Von nirgendwo her kommend verschwinden sie ins Nirgendwo hin. Präzise einstudierte Bewegungen, erweitert durch freie Improvisation – verwirrend, raffiniert, eindrücklich.
Award spoiled and crowned with two Guinness world records, these excep- tional artists seem to float weightlessly and effortlessly, horizontal as human flags on a flagpole. The couple stage a poetic love story with elegance, humour and breathtakingly powerful acrobatics.
Duo Kaos stage a poetic world full of wheels and balance, played by two idiosyncratic characters. Aggression and attraction result in the perfect combo of clowning, elegance and impressive acrobatics on a bike.
The name of the band is what it’s all about: It’s wild and all about dancing (guincher = dance, shake a leg)! This energy-packed, young troupe from Grenoble invites you to a big fest of witty chansons, festive swing, wild tavern rock and driving turbo-ska.
without words
Dumpu and Dinki, two hands, are like day and night: Dumpu grumbling and grim, Dinki cheeky and playful. In the interplay between curiosity and re- jection, sensitively and precisely accompanied by live rhythms, they slowly approach each other. Will they become friends?
Magic, ventriloquism, sword swallowing, mind-reading – Jack Wise ma- sters all disciplines and mixes them with a pinch of audience interaction to a perfect cocktail. How exactly does he make bottles disappear or pictures come alive? Because he can!
from 5 years on, Swiss Dialect
This cat gang have the devil under their skin: tricking watchdog Johnny, stealing pizza, monkeying about… Only “the littlest one” is still too small to make great pranks, the others say. That’s why he cunningly tries to prove he’s one of the greats.
Kleine Gestalten, beladen mit einem riesigen Hinkelstein, streifen verwundert durch Bern’s Gassen – wer sind sie und woher kommen sie? Und ist der Hinkelstein nicht die geballte Ladung ihrer Träume, die sie mit sich herumtragen? Triff sie und staune mit ihnen!
Sons of poodles (= Caniche)? Maybe not. Manouches (= “Gypsies”)? In spirit very much. And on stage definitely highly virtuosic interpreters of modern Jazz Manouche, tireless jazz researchers and fiery Piazzolla and Django Aficionados. What a groove, my god!
The colourful troupe from the Netherlands sing in seven languages and mix Balkan and gypsy music to an infectious klezmer cocktail. Music for dancing, laughing and crying – best all at the same time. L’Chaim – a toast to life!
Four women on the Forró stage – a rarity! They pay homage to the greats of the genre such as Luiz Gonzaga, Dominguinhos or Jackson do Pandeiro with great care and sensitivity. Festa brasileira with a stunning dance show. Follow the triangle, join the party and dance!
This dynamic duo presents raw, original Slide Guitar Blues & Americana com- bined with cogent songwriting at the highest level. Virtuoso Roots Sound from the Mississippi Delta, enwrapped by the elegant and sassy feminine Italian charm of the double bass player – world class!
The two outlandish characters explore voice and body and lead into a trashy universe of beatboxed virtuosity and physical theater. Only limit: the imagination. Laughter guaranteed!
speech-intensive puppet show in German
Finally – a contemporary witness of the Big Bang comes to Bern. The lizard wittily tells of the emergence of earthly species and draws parallels to today’s world politics. Questions allowed – improvisation is the great passion of Hatzius.
From the creative epicentre of Byron Bay this renowned troubadour has over 15 years of performing experience. His music comes straight from the heart, endearing him to audiences around the globe who have experienced his sound in spiritual ceremonies as healing medicine.
The award winning music collective was born in the townships of South Africa. A constantly evolving tapestry of culture, emotion and melody – their sound blends indigenous African sounds with raw electronica and uplifting anthemic vocals.
Leaving all genre boundaries behind, this duo from down under fuse flamenco and rock techniques, virtuoso guitar melodies and infinitely fast percussive rhythms to create their very own world of sound. Nuevo Flamenco Rumba or Acoustic Progressive Flamenco Metal?
Many great bands get their start in Bristol, and Regime is one of them. Influenced by Rage Against the Machine, Dead Prez and The Roots, they turn up the heat with strong melodies and politically charged lyrics. Dancing for free thinking people – Yeah!
The strangely weird duo – masters of understatement – sing dialect chansons about the emptiness of everyday communication, the pitfalls of urination, side leaps and the weak little muscles of our political arm. In short: everything for the healing crack in our self-image.
Rafael Jerjen plays double bass on Saturday.
Join the young trio in their research: Where do original and natural sounds come from? Can new sounds become original sounds, foreign sound become homeland sound? How difficult is it to leave one’s musical homeland? When does something foreign become native and vice versa?
At the festive opening of the Bar Chiringuito Paradise, everything just goes awry: suddenly the counter burns, the bottles fall off the shelf and the champagne becomes a slide. Excellent, precise and very funny Slapstick!
The “smallest and also best band of Berlin” make disgustingly honest nevertheless stupid Hip Hop from the family underground. Tight turntable technique, sometimes dadaistic or a cozy gymnastics party, definitely critical and cheeky – but urgently danceable.
Two women, two voices, two cellos and a very intimate sound. Their music for two wooden bodies interlaced by caressing sound of Polish language weave a fragile web of tones which, by a wave of a bow, can change into a dangerous trap – touching and fascinating.
«Monstre Jeux 1» durchgehend in der Junkerngasse
Von Weitem sehen sie aus wie seltsame Kreaturen, wie Monster aus einer anderen Zeit. Durch die grossen und kleinen Spieler/innen erwachen die recycelten Materialien und das Treibholz zu neuem Leben: visuell eindrücklich, physisch fordernd, psychisch erquickend.
Bodies, whirling through the air, hand-to-hand acrobatics and precisely spit-up balls – the international company offers artistry with a pinch of comedy at a high level. Explosive creativity on a seesaw!
Who missed these vibrant Goddesses of The Wind (= Tuuletar) and vocal forces of nature last year? They combine archaic-traditional Finnish folk tradition and modern Hip Hop with beatboxing – pure a cappella. Enchan- ting, unique and outstanding!
Yes, Danish language can really beguile sensually! No wonder, because this women’s trio build a bridge between traditional and contemporary Nordic folk music with an incredible amount of flair and skill. Original arrangements, powerfully and sensitively presented.
The name says a great deal – but by no means all: dance party, street theatre, choreographed and interactive musical extravaganza! Unplugged but on fire, the six accordionists once again ignite the asphalt and their audience in the capital. Dance, Bernese bears!
Joshua Monten’s new show is an unconventional pas de deux between bodies and printed text. A mash-up of fancy footwork, pulsing rhythms and playful word games. The results range from the simple to the sublime, wish a dash of absurdity.
Start of first show: 18.00h, duration: 15min, 15pers/show, 8 shows/day / Tickets available at the bus (for the same day only)
The bus is a playground for a wide variety of sound objects. Some have already been tried and tested, others have just been invented. Not completely controllable, the alienated everyday objects develop a life of their own. An unparalleled visual and acoustic experiment!
Back at Buskers Bern: The award winning collective was born in the townships of South Africa and convinces by a fusion of anthemic uplifting vocals, psychedelic Folk and raw African rhythms. Experience and share their unique community spirit and pure emotion, laugh, cry and dance!
With deep punk grooves coated in bass synths and New Orleans Jazz horn lines, Rum Buffalo have built an unforgettable live show. Forged on the rough streets of London, these ruthless renegades will keep your blood pumping and your body moving with their cutting sound.

New CD 2018
Der senegalesische Sänger, Perkussionist und Tänzer Baye Magatte Ndiaye überliefert gemeinsam mit seiner hochkarätigen Band Geschichten in westafrikanischer Griot-Tradition. Althergebrachtes verschmilzt mit modernem Pop, Jazz und Funk zur ultimativen Mbalax-Tanzparty!
Dynamik auf hohem Niveau: Die fünf Kenianer wirbeln Salto schlagend durch die Luft, bauen Menschenpyramiden und tanzen Limbo, bis es nicht mehr tiefer geht. Eine geballte Ladung explosiver Energie, enormer Sprungkraft und beeindruckender Leichtigkeit.
Live entfaltet die Wahlbernerin aus Südafrika ihr volles Potenzial: Sozialkritische englische Texte der Hip Hop-Künstlerin und Wortschmiedin treffen auf fette Beats der tighten Band – rau und sensibel-verletzlich zugleich. The Roots und Lauryn Hill lassen grüssen…
Cie Pipototal
Die schräge Dreierkombo setzt auf Selbstironie, eigenwillige Charaktere und perfektionierte Mimik. Auf dem Progamm: imperfekte Zauberkunststücke, Boxkämpfe in Slow-Motion und zwielichtige Levitationsversuche auf hohem Niveau. New-old circus cabaret at its best!
Seine Musen heissen Betty, Stella, Lucie, Loretta & Jeri…Die charismatische One Man Band aus Downunder baut all seine Gitarren selber und kreiert mit Hilfe des Loop-Geräts einen satten Band-Sound: eine erdige Mischung aus treibendem Rock-Blues und Booty shakin’ Funk.
Drei stimmgewaltige Musikerinnen aus Tolosa (Toulouse) erwecken uraltes Liedgut in okzitanischer Sprache zu neuem Leben. Mit Händen, Füssen und Saiten-Tamburin unterstreichen sie in kantigen Rhythmen die tänzerische Natur des polyphonen Gesangs – a dançar!
New CD 2018
Traditional Music from North East London? Die 7‑köpfige Combo schöpft aus der reichen kulturellen Vielfalt im Nordosten der Musikmetropole: Das Repertoire aus trad. Klezmer‑, Roma‑, griechischer und türkischer Musik widerspiegelt die pulsierende Energie dieses Melting Pots.
Mit Magie und Witz bringt das Duo kwitsch-kwetsch das junge Publikum zum Gigelen und Staunen. Zauberkunststücke und das eigensinnig gespielte Akkordeon ergänzen sich perfekt!
Zwei Seeleute, eingeschifft am Hafen der Fantasie: Sie ist eine ausgezeichnete Artistin und Tänzerin, er ein verrückter Träumer. Zusammen haben sie die Hand-auf-Hand Akrobatik perfektioniert und bringen frische Zirkus-Comedy nach Bern!
Johnny Spatz ist empört! In Papa’s Nest sitzt eine exotische Wellensittich-Dame mit ihrem komisch-nervigen Küken. Matou schildert mit Humor und Können, unterstrichen von Live-Musik, die Hochs und Tiefs einer Vogel-Patchwork-Familie.
Jyoti zieht durch die Welt, sammelt magische Geheimnisse, Bewegungen und Geräusche. Er perfektioniert Illusionstechniken und das Spiel mit Glaskugeln, eignet sich uralte schamanisches Wissen an und zeigt sein Können in einer hypnotisierenden Show. Magie wird Wirklichkeit!
Pantsula – viel mehr als ein Tanz! Entstanden während der Apartheid in den Townships Südafrikas als Ausdruck für brisant Politisches. Stylish gekleidet überzeugen die Jungs aus Johannesburg mit perfekt choreografierter, super-flinker Beinarbeit zu Euro-Techno-Pop. Energie pur! Mit der freundlichen Unterstützung vom SüdKulturFonds
Das Duo präsentiert eigene sowie traditionelle, sorgfältig arrangierte Songs und lädt ein zu einer musikalischen Reise durch die britischen Inseln. Beide sind herausragende Virtuosen auf ihren Instrumenten mit einem feinen Sinn für Musikalität und Showmanship – don’t miss it!
Kollektiv Super Nice
Kopfhörer-Disco
Kleine Gestalten, beladen mit einem riesigen Hinkelstein, streifen verwundert durch Bern’s Gassen – wer sind sie und woher kommen sie? Und ist der Hinkelstein nicht die geballte Ladung ihrer Träume, die sie mit sich herumtragen? Triff sie und staune mit ihnen!
New CD 2018
Poetische Chansons zum Nachdenken und Schmunzeln – mit einem Hauch Melancholie festlich serviert. Die jungen Autodidakten nehmen sich nie zu ernst und kreieren in unbändiger Spielfreude ihr eigenes Off-Road-Band-Universum. Alors, on danse, les Welsches?
Magic Ramba Trash
Auch ennet dem Gotthard vermögen die Tessiner Multiinstrumentalisten grosse Gefühle zu wecken mit packender Bühnenpräsenz und eigenem Stil. Die Klangreise von Folk-Pop bis Rock’n’Roll erinnert auch an Mumford & Sons, Bob Dylan oder Neil Young – rock on, ragazzi!
New CD 2017
Diese Band aus Berlin hat entweder viele oder keinen Präsidenten: Weltoffen und verspielt setzt sie sich über alle Grenzen hinweg. Zu diesem süffigen Mix mit funky Bläsersätzen und swingendem Gypsy-Jazz wippen die Füsse ganz von alleine. Feel-good vibes – Groove for president!
Minitheater Hannibal
Gelebte Völkerverbindung ohne Identitätsverlust: Der begnadete brasilianische Singer Songwriter Luiz navigiert die wahrhaft kosmopolitische Band gekonnt durch die Musikwelt. Lass dich sehnsuchen von Flamenco, Gypsy, Samba, Bossa, Italianitá, Irish Fiddlern und Mariachis!
New CD 2018
Was für ein Sound! Dieses Trio bricht alle Hörerwartungen auf mit dem ungewöhnlichen Line-up und mit modernen Arrangements, geschärft mit punkig-jazzigen Akzenten. Und dies bei allerhöchstem Respekt für ihre zypriotische Musiktradition – einzigartig dringlich!
Pataphysisches Institut Basel
Frischer könnten die Produkte am fahrenden Metzgereistand nicht sein – die Geschwister Bacul bereiten sie direkt vor der Kundschaft zu. Beine und Köpfe fliegen im Sekundentakt, Innereien quellen über die Ablage – ein Winnie-Pooh-Burger oder Barbie-Cue gefällig?
Am SA 24h30 – 01h30 im Buskershaus mit (von Andreas Schaerer von u.a. “Hildegard lernt fliegen”)
Four down-sized circus musicians started a band packed with theatricality. It is clear that this is a foursome that thinks it’s an orchestra… The gifted musicians from Toulouse serve up jazz with a dash of rock, tango and musette for omnivores.
Das Werkzeug der drei Brüder ist nichts als ihr Körper: In ständiger Metamorphose werden sie zu Gegenstand, Energie, Tier und erzählen pantomimisch mit surrealistischem Humor simple Alltagsgeschichten. Ausserordentlich originell und superamüsant!
In den 12 ausrangierten Röhrenfernsehern sind verschiedenste Kurzgeschichten, inspiriert von B‑Movies, Monstern und Comics, zu bestaunen. Gebaut aus recycelten, mechanisch animierten Spielzeugen erzeugen sie eine eigene, faszinierende Welt. Unbedingt sehenswert!
New CD 2018
Super Power – der Name der brandneuen CD ist Programm: Die Partyband aus Bologna feiert ihr 10-Jähriges und überzeugt mit einem flamboyanten Mix aus Funk, Cumbia, Merengue, Swing, Latin Vibes und Upbeat Ska. Satte Bläsersätze, umwerfende Sängerin – hot as chili!
Keine Show ist wie die andere: Samuelito improvisiert auf hohem Niveau, was das Zeug hält – nichts und niemand ist vor ihm sicher! Zudem hat er eine Drohne, die das Bienensterben stoppt, und eine Oma, die rockt. Lachen garantiert!
New CD 2018
Sandra Rehder aus Mendoza verkörpert den Tango der selbstbewussten Frauen von heute: kraftvoll und sehr ausdrucksstark, zärtlich bis vulgär, verhalten bis dramatisch, glamourös und verspielt. Getragen wird sie von zwei genuinen, hervorragenden Tangueros. Pasión eterna!
Señor StetS
Can a Celtic folk rock trio from Glasgow generate this kind of emotional intensity and combine music from the Scottish Highlands with Balkan and Gypsy while retaining a punk spirit? Yes, and how! Extreme virtuosity, excellent harmonies – utterly breathtaking!
Triktek GmbH
Who missed these vibrant Goddesses of The Wind (= Tuuletar) and vocal forces of nature last year? They combine archaic-traditional Finnish folk tradition and modern Hip Hop with beatboxing – pure a cappella. Enchan- ting, unique and outstanding!
Utopian Witness
Getrieben von Fern- und Heimweh rattert Viertaktmotor quer durch den Morast der Neuen Schweizer Volksmusik. Dabei halten die vier Buben Ausschau nach romantischen Magerwiesen, dem sagenhaften Alpenglühen aber auch nach urbanen Betonwüsten und versprayten Schrottplatzmauern.
Die „Kampfstreicher aus Polen“ (SRF Kultur) hatten die grosse Ehre, die WOMEX 2017 in Katowice zu eröffnen. Zwei klassisch ausgebildete Brüder entzünden mit drei Volksmusikern aus den Karpaten ein musikalisches Feuerwerk, das Grenzen und Kategorien sprengt. Virtuosisimo!
New CD 2017
Unglaublich, wie gekonnt das Trio aus Oslo allerlei Töne streichend, zupfend und singend zu einem wunderbar sanften, kraftvollen Klangteppich zu verweben vermag! Erlebe die typisch Norwegische Hardangerfiedel und Leier in traditioneller und neuer Volksmusik hautnah. Der Norden ruft!Mit freundlicher Unterstützung der Königlichen Norwegischen Botschaft
An ihren Rollstuhl gefesselt, fliegt Brigitte mit ihren Gedanken in längst vergangene Zeiten: Sie trifft ihre verflossene, grosse Liebe und sich selbst als junges Mädchen. Eine unglaublich präzise Performance, ausdrucksstark und faszinierend, Weltklasse!
fluchtpunkt Szenografie
New CD 2018
Magischer Crossover aus flirrenden Balkan Bläsern und unwiderstehlichen Grooves. Eine aussergewöhnliche Live Band, die ihre pulsierende Energie direkt auf ihr Publikum überträgt. Jamaican Dancehall, Oriental Voodoo, Tropical Gypsy, Balkan Trance – Kulturschock tanzbar!
* for kids (and all audiences)
Every morning, the little witch Lakritz has to walk to school because she doesn’t have a broom to fly. Even the dragon, who is far too small, and the cheeky mushrooms can’t help her… A fast-paced, humorous puppet show, accompanied by live music.

Das aussergewöhnliche Line-up der Folkband mit dem melodischen Mexiko-Bass und den Ambient-Gitarren-Riffs lässt aufhorchen. Adaya’s psychedelischer Celtic Groove trägt uns fort auf die grüne Insel mit Blick auf den wilden Atlantik. A pint of Guinness, sláinte!
Albin Brun zählt zu den herausragenden Figuren der Neuen Volksmusik. Die Eigenkompositionen seines NAH Quartetts klingen zugleich fremd und vertraut – lebendige und unmittelbare Musik voller Drive und Poesie. Tausend und eine Alp – virtuos, verspielt und berührend.
Elektronische Musik vom Feinsten das erste Mal bei Buskers Bern! Drei Tausendsassas, jeweils im Duo: Simon Baumann (> Stephan Eicher, Mario Batkovic, Serie Ray Donovan, Remix für Marvin Gaye) mit herausragendem Florian Favre und Berliner Techno-Koryphäe Fabian Kalker.

Ist klassische Musik nur in Abendkleid und Anzug zu geniessen? Nicht in der Vorstellung dieser virtuosen Streicher/innen. Mit hochansteckender Spiellust und Freude bringen sie bekannte Werke der Klassik originalgetreu auf die Strasse. Rock me Amadeus.
Einer von Irland, einer von England. Seit 15 Jahren diskutieren und spielen sie zusammen – ein musikalischer Friedensprozess: von Irisch und Englisch Trad über Rock bis Punk mit einer feinen Auswahl von Eigenkompositionen. In a heartbeat from Folk to Floyd!
Sein Ziel: die Frauenwelt beeindrucken. Seine Voraussetzungen: perfekt – er hat alles, was man dazu braucht: einen Schnauz, fancy Kleidung und das Wichtigste: ein cooles Auto. Leider geht ziemlich alles schief – Feuer hier, unkontrollierbare Hupgeräusche da und Rauch überall… Erobert er seine Herzdame?
Eines Tages wird der griesgrämige, geldgierige Don Cristobal aus seiner Routine gerissen: Eine Frau stürzt ihn in Liebesnöte und Kinderprobleme. Die preisgekrönte Produktion setzt auf Satire, Tempo und Livemusik. Kasperli bitterbös!
Violinen, Hörner, ein Käpt’n und ein Händler begleiten den reisenden Vogelmann. Musik ist sein Atem, Tanz seine Sprache und Interaktion seine Begabung: Wo immer die kurlig-bunte, musizierende Truppe auftaucht, saugt sie das Publikum in ihre faszinierende Welt hinein.
Augenzwinkernd zieht sich die Liebelei des bärenstarken Tollpatschs und der strengen Grazie durch die Tango- und Balletteinlage und endet schliesslich in einer fulminanten Hand-auf-Hand Nummer. Die zwei gegensätzlichen Figuren harmonieren perfekt – Gravitation ade!
Bedächtig zieht der weitgereiste Clochard Dirk mit seinem ganzen Hab und Gut bepackt durch die Gassen. Ab und an beglückt er mit einem Drehorgelspiel. Spätestens wenn er seine Hand nach etwas Münz ausstreckt, wird klar – irgendwie stimmt da was nicht…
Schule im Affenland: Logisch gelten dort andere Regeln als in den Schulen, die wir kennen. Zum Beispiel lernt man dort Bananen essen. Wer am hässlichsten isst, bekommt die beste Note. Willkommen im Schlar-Affen-Land!
Forró verwandelt die behäbigen Berner Gassen in heisse Strandpromenaden von Fortaleza oder Recife — ein brasilianisches Tanz- und Musikfest! Gemixt mit Latin Jazz, Swing, Samba, Cumbia und Milonga wird die Show zur explosiven Latin-Sause erster Güte — a gozar!
Ein echter Cowboy holt seine Fritten nicht im Pappkarton, er schiesst sie selber! Ziel mit der Pommes-Kanone auf das mit Pianosaiten bespannte Gitter — zerstückelt fällt die Kartoffel direkt in die Fritteuse und wird gebruzzelt: ultra-fresh, high velocity chips!
„Hikohki Gumo“ (japanisch: Kondensstreifen). Ein weisser Stock tanzt und fliegt, zerteilt sausend den Raum. Zu zwölft zusammengeschnürt oder ins Gewandgesteckt, schaukeln die Stäbe beinahe schwerelos. Ein Balanceakt, circensische Erfindung alter Tradition.
Die abgelegene Inselwelt vor Westafrika ist die Wiege der melancholischen Morna, der schnellen, tanzbaren Coladeira oder des überschwänglichen Funaná. Gabriela bringt das reiche Spektrum der traditionellen kapverdischen Musik auf Berns Strassen — saudade e alegria!
Auch für Leute ohne Englischkenntnisse empfohlen
Die kontrolliert chaotische Show des talentierten Komikers — bekannt vom Buskers 2015, „Garaghty & Thom“ — ist gespickt mit schwarzem Humor und hervorragender Improvisation inkl. Zirkustricks: Er beansprucht alles und jede/n, so wie es ihm gerade passt.
Obwohl der Flame nie Baumwolle pflückte, klingen seine Geschichten nach Weite, Schmerz und Hoffnung: „In a world of plastic and virtuality, people want real things“. Eine authentische, emotionale und hochenergetische One Man Band — Balsam für Blues-Seelen.
Die irisch-internationale Band ‘Hot Club of Dublin’ reanimieren den Elan des ‘The Jazz Age Tango’, der in den frühen 1930er Jahren den Geist des ‘Hot Club de France’ geprägt hat.
Was alles möglich ist, wenn Kontrabass und Loopstation mit einer sphärischen Stimme kombiniert werden! Jorge’s One Man Universum kreiert magische Momente mit Eigenkompositionen sowie Ohrwürmern von Björk über Radiohead bis Massive Attack. Spacig!
Mezze, Retsina & Ouzo, parakaló! In den 1920ern brachten Flüchtlinge den Smyrneïka aus den orientalischen Cafés von Izmir/Smyrna nach Athen, wo er auf die Lieder der dortigen Subkultur, den Rebétika, traf. Athmosphärisch dicht, authentisch, modern interpretiert — Weltklasse!
Always protected by their gâpettes (berets), with their “chansons muzouches”, this quintet mixes styles from musette, manouche and rock. Profound and enthusiastic lyrics right from a Breton bistro – un hommage plein d’énergie à l’humanité.
Vom Rotlichtmilieu in Lima inspiriert, verkörpern die mechanisch angetriebenen Grumildos mythische, moralfreie Wesen. Saufend, sich paarend und tanzend bevölkern die Aussenseiter ein begehbares Miniatur-Universum. Liebevoll-grotesk und eindrücklich.
Ein musikalischer Versuch mit erheblichem Risiko: heisser Funksoul in Nordostschweizer Mundart. Doch ein begnadeter Schreihals und seine hochkarätige Band heizen leidenschaftlich ein und lassen alle Zweifel sofort verdampfen. Geht ab wie der Rheinfall.

Gefangen in ihren Gewohnheiten dümpeln die schrägen Charakteren in ihren trostlos modernen Wohnungen vor sich hin, bis sie schliesslich auf gewalttätige Weise von ihren Obsessionen befreit werden. „A puppet theory for the human nothing“ — höchst beeindruckend!
Aufgewachsen in einer senegalesischen Griot-Familie wurde Mory mit Musik, Gesang und Tanz getränkt. Beim Weitergeben der Geschichten mit Ngoni, Trommeln und Gesang unterstützt ihn nun seine hochkarätige Band. Herz & Sinne öffnen, Hüfte kreisen und Freude teilen!
Kann man sich die Ohren mit den Füssen zuhalten? Oder sich mit den Zehen kämmen? Für Nina Burri kein Problem! Die gebürtige Bernerin erlernte die Kunst der Kontorsion in China und beeindruckt nun als Schlangenfrau die ganze Welt.
Das Trio zelebriert eine charismatische Mischung aus widerspenstigem Indie-Rock, balladesquem Americana Blues und treibendem Soul – zwischen harter Realität und absurden Träumereien. Einzigartige Stimme gepaart mit unbändiger Spielfreude — ansteckend!
Seit Jahrhunderten sind die Figuren über dem Portal des Berner Münsters starr. RAST bringt Bewegung ins jüngste Gericht, erweckt blutrünstige Höllengestalten, törichte Jungfrauen, gierige Teufelsfratzen und den Schnäbizwicker zum Leben und erzählt ihre Geschichte neu.
Rebel Academy
Start: Münsterplatz Dauer: 40 Min. (Tanzwillige können auch unterwegs dazustossen/aussteigen)
Die Stimme in deinem Kopf schickt dich auf eine Mission ohne gute Gründe, wirft dich mitten in die grosse Revolte der kleinen Dinge. Denn erst die Forderung nach Dingen verleiht diesen Bedeutung. Belanglosigkeiten, tanzt für mehr Beachtung, dies ist eure Chance!
Many great bands get their start in Bristol, and Regime is one of them. Influenced by Rage Against the Machine, Dead Prez and The Roots, they turn up the heat with strong melodies and politically charged lyrics. Dancing for free thinking people – Yeah!
Nein, weder Mittelamerika noch Cumbia… Die je 3 jungen Frauen und Männer aus dem Dörfchen Saint Salvadour (San Salvador auf Okzitanisch) elektrisieren mit 6 Stimmen, 12 Händen, 2 Trommeln und 1 Tamburin – poétique, rythmique & magique. Hühnerhaut garantiert!
Shishko (= dick in Türkisch) resp. fett ist v.a. der Sound dieser Multikulti-Combo: Dem hochansteckenden Mix von Arabisch‑, Balkan‑, Rock- und Funk-Einflüssen kann sich kein Tanzfüdle entziehen — weder in der von der Band favorisierten Homebase Goa noch in Bern.
Die Sporthorses galoppieren als Trash-Band mit selbstgebauten Instrumenten durch die elektronische Steppe. Königin ihres Instrumentariums ist die Guggenheim Box: Lichtschranken, hinter denen sich ein Sammelsurium an pferdestarken Klängen verbirgt. Abgefahren!
Knapp jede zweite Minute verschwindet jemand im Trailer von Tombs Creatius — dort beginnt eine faszinierende, mysteriöse Reise zum Ich und zu der fragilen Grenze zwischen Leben und Tod. Eine eigen- und einzigartige Erfahrung!
Geschick, Koordination und auch etwas Glück sind gefragt, um es gegen die 25 holzigen, weitgereisten Monsterchen aufzunehmen. Farbenfroh laden sie zum Spiel und fordern Jung und Alt heraus.
All den Dreck hinter sich lassen und ein grosser Star werden, das wünscht sich der kleine, einsame Müllsack „Poubelle“. Witzig, ausdrucksstark und mit einfachsten Mitteln erzählt Zero en Conducta die letzten Minuten von Poubelles Leben, bevor das Schicksal zuschlägt.
Welche Wesen wohnen eigentlich im Wohlensee? War nicht das letzte 1. August-Feuerwerk auf dem Gurten das Werk eines Drachens? Der weltberühmte Forscher Dracoflaco deckt diese Mysterien auf und berichtet über seine haarsträubenden Abenteuer. Spannung garantiert!
Ein Widerspenstiger in einem Loch trotzt der Schwerkraft, die plötzlich ihre eigenen Regeln erfindet. Während 10 Minuten bereitet einem der Verstand Kopfzerbrechen, spielt Streiche und vermischt die Wirklichkeit mit Illusion — it makes your world flip!
The name says a great deal – but by no means all: dance party, street theatre, choreographed and interactive musical extravaganza! Unplugged but on fire, the six accordionists once again ignite the asphalt and their audience in the capital. Dance, Bernese bears!
The oversized Lobster embodies the fusion of robotics, mechanics and electronics. Based on 3D puzzles and controlled as if by magic, he develops his own personality. A wink to robotics, a search for closeness.
Joshua Monten’s new show is an unconventional pas de deux between bodies and printed text. A mash-up of fancy footwork, pulsing rhythms and playful word games. The results range from the simple to the sublime, wish a dash of absurdity.
Musically & visually, this wild outfit is like something sprung forth from a London fair of times past, the charismatic front man as though from a Terry Gilliam film. This grabs you – like being in a little boat in a churning sea. No land in sight, party ahoy!

LE DUE E UN QUARTO
Always protected by their gâpettes (berets), with their “chansons muzouches”, this quintet mixes styles from musette, manouche and rock. Profound and enthusiastic lyrics right from a Breton bistro – un hommage plein d’énergie à l’humanité.

Estelle and Vassili tell stories from the Black Sea to Paris in frenzied rhythms. Their brilliant travelling companions are the manouche guitar, the Greek bouzouki, the Russian accordion and the Romanian Gypsy fiddle. Deepest nostalgia meets highest virtuosity!
Joshua Monten’s new show is an unconventional pas de deux between bodies and printed text. A mash-up of fancy footwork, pulsing rhythms and playful word games. The results range from the simple to the sublime, wish a dash of absurdity.
Musically & visually, this wild outfit is like something sprung forth from a London fair of times past, the charismatic front man as though from a Terry Gilliam film. This grabs you – like being in a little boat in a churning sea. No land in sight, party ahoy!
Combining thoughtful, political, and often humorous lyrics with dangerously catchy hooks and a feel-good groove, UNDERCOVER HIPPY will make you think, laugh and dance simultaneously. Known for the electric atmosphere of their live shows, they always leave the crowd feeling both inspired and energised – yeah!
From the biggest stages to Buskers Bern: The Bandits delight us with their award-winning new album, a blend of blues and roots with a psychedelic touch. Stunning lap-slide guitar, beguiling voices, haunting Hammond organ – gentle and powerful, simply magnificent!

The name of the band is what it’s all about: It’s wild and all about dancing (guincher = dance, shake a leg)! This energy-packed, young troupe from Grenoble invites you to a big fest of witty chansons, festive swing, wild tavern rock and driving turbo-ska.

ČAČI VORBA
The oversized Lobster embodies the fusion of robotics, mechanics and electronics. Based on 3D puzzles and controlled as if by magic, he develops his own personality. A wink to robotics, a search for closeness.
Fraser skilfully mixes improvised interaction and brilliant comedy to create a hilarious show – including a stunt duck, human fish and a boxing match. Who dares to compete against the award-winning New Zealander? A performance also for the stomach muscles!
A musical monster: exuberant, multivocal, bewitching and disturbing all at once. The twisted multi award-winning brass band sounds like Steve Reich and Andy Warhol with a Bulgarian women’s choir between them, staggering through Oktoberfest – beautiful and dead drunk.
Combining thoughtful, political, and often humorous lyrics with dangerously catchy hooks and a feel-good groove, UNDERCOVER HIPPY will make you think, laugh and dance simultaneously. Known for the electric atmosphere of their live shows, they always leave the crowd feeling both inspired and energised – yeah!

Fashion trends come and go. Only the Mexican mambo, the moustaches and pom-pom hairstyles of this combo outlast all the stylistic whims of show business. Cool as always, hotter than ever, languidly seductive. Swing your hips – caaaaaliente!

Keine Show ist wie die andere: Samuelito improvisiert auf hohem Niveau, was das Zeug hält – nichts und niemand ist vor ihm sicher! Zudem hat er eine Drohne, die das Bienensterben stoppt, und eine Oma, die rockt. Lachen garantiert!
