Curiosity is one of the most important characteristics of humanity; the secrets of our genetic code are now being revealed with a paradoxical simplicity; a form of inquisitiveness that does not yet realize the potential consequences. Would you still dare to take a look?

Guest Projects
A festival of this dimension would not be possible without our partners, who are enthusiastically involved with their projects, events and cooperations and thus contribute far more than just a supporting programme before or during the festival from September 7 to 11, 2022.

SUB-MEDIA Workshop

The play "Tüchtige Arbeiter" ("Hard Workers") deals with a question of conscience that shakes up and confronts the fate of humanity ubiquitously and usually too late: How far do we use our talents to advance - or destroy - our species?

Future Visions - Get-Together
After two years of fruitful collaborations with our online gardens, we are finally able to meet onsite.
