Dezentral

This year, we continue to tour Zurich’s districts with a popup programme and, finally, present street art again on the festival site: acrobatics, spoken word, clowning, dance, concerts and more by artists from Switzerland and abroad. From Tuesday to Thursday, our programme tours the districts of Zurich on the mobile stage whereas from Friday to Sunday we present it at Bühne am Ufer on the Landiwiese.

Two motorised pedestals face each other in a circle of rails. Two acrobats stand on the pedestals, which move round the circle. Dancing and jumping, they begin to mimic each other, sometime in sync, often not, but always with full, physical abandon.
