… a retreat .. “chill area”.. is very important .. intensive listening and viewing can be very exhausting….

…oh yes…. last year we came across the element “Fire”… in a performance by Spanish and French artists …this year we want to develop this idea a bit more… we have invited a french lady artisan… “jam” with local craftsmen ? …. “fireworks” ? not quite ….. rather “works with fire ” ..

and …well, the spoken word – the often forgotten spoken word ….. a poet from Pakistan will be our guest this year and we hope that there will be an encounter of word artists… a sort of catalysation might happen … or rather multiplication… yes, indeed… multiplication ….
