Timetable 2024

Delicate leaves between cobblestones, dainty flowers next to steps: It's worth looking down! In our # herb show, we show you the variety of plant species that have settled in the most inhospitable places on the park grounds.

Using an infrared camera, we explore the really hot spots on the event site and talk about how the heat in the city can be reduced.

Cinematic house music by piano and cello for listening and dreaming.

Jonathan Wolters and Nicole Wiebe got together in Hamburg in May 2020. Two musicians in their 30s, passionate about music. He plays the piano, she the cello. He comes from jazz. She comes from classical music. Their pieces are original compositions. Inspiring, surprising, intimate, tender, flowing, elegant, warm, free, hopeful, flirtatious, moving, floating, bittersweet, nostalgic, calming, mysterious, enchanted, airy, liberating, beautiful: Dan & Dora.

Andreas Dorau, an artist and musician from Hamburg, has been releasing recordings on an irregular basis since 1981. One theme that runs through his entire oeuvre is animals and nature.

MPC LAFOTE is a post-wave act from Hamburg. Hard pop as a result is the further development of the post-punk band LAFOTE.

The stuff is very, very, very danceable. Even people who normally only tap their little toe have been seen at MPC Lafote concerts who couldn't hold themselves up any longer.

Enjoy a relaxed walk across the grounds and discover botanical treasures along the way. Along the way, we will encounter many wild plants that we want to take a closer look at.

+++ The performance takes place diagonally opposite "Ameise", in the "children's tent". We simply didn't have any more space on the timetable. The tent is opposite the large "Lasterbühne" at the flood basin. +++

Heike Kammer from the human rights organization Peace Brigades International has been touring Latin America and German-speaking countries with Rosita's puppet stage for almost 20 years.

In the puppet theater performance "A Baltic Sea voyage is fun", children (aged 5 and over) deal with environmental protection issues. Together with Matea and Mattis, the children embark on a journey through the seas, where they meet a princess on a desert island who carelessly throws her garbage into the sea. That's why the fish die. They also meet a fisherman's boy who is very sad because he can no longer catch fish. Together with the children, the four protagonists find a solution so that the fisherman's boy can catch fish again.

Before the performance, the kids can make their own hand puppets from old socks and fabric together with Heike.

For children aged 5 and over

Wosto was born in 1980 in Geseke (a small town in "Wostfalia"). As he would call himself an animal lover, he released all of the animals from Geseke in 1995 and rode a donkey through his hometown. The police came and arrested Wosto and his animal gang into a seperate district, where he still lives with them and plays records for them. To this day, many visitors come to see him playing and dancing and feed him with new music by throwing the records over the fence. It is said that there is a secret tunnel, so Wosto can escape from time to time and play some secret gigs outside.

In 2013 Wosto and his best friend Kluentah founded FALLBEIL. So far they released many records on different labels all over the world. In 2017 Wosto and the two members of NOSTALGIE ÉTERNELLE started the trio SAUERSTOFFF. Wosto is also releasing solo records and is running his own vinyl label - TEERPAPPE

THE BIG BROUGHT - under your feet

A story about living creatures in the soil and the true gold of our earth: humus!

For all people aged 4 and over

In this ESD theater performance, young and old audience members learn about the fascinating world of soil creatures in an imaginative and musical way: woodlice, millipedes, spiders, springtails and bacteria. Together with earthworm superstars, they ensure healthy soil. And this is also extremely relevant to the climate. By building up humus, carbon dioxide can be returned to the soil.

In the past, there was no asphalt, but there were stones, lots of stones, in the fields, on the paths, in the woods. From small pebbles to large boulders. Most of them were quite ordinary, but there were always special ones too, ones that could come to life or ones that people had been transformed into. The storyteller Elita Carstens will tell you whether it stayed that way or how it went on, freely and vividly - fairy tales from different cultures, come along on the journey to the special stones!

Fairy tales for young and old from the age of 4
