Join us for one day at the Translocal Performance Festival Giswil.

The 24th festival edition carries the title «Im Handumdrehn» — loosely translated «in the blink of an eye». The festival's curators practice hopefulness, embrace serendipity, and celebrate the agility with which even the most entrenched situations can shift in an instant. Artists from Switzerland, Germany, and Vietnam open up spaces for artistic encounters. The focus lies on practices and strategies that operate outside of institutional spaces, confront social issues, and question everyday rituals.

The programme includes a series of sight-specific performances at Turbine Hall in Giswil and a dinner (12:00 - 18:00). There is an option to stay for the evening programme that ends at 21:30.

The festival was created in 1998 by Ruedi Schill and Monica Günther specifically for the site of the Turbine Hall at Giswil.

Join us for a shared meal and a music performance Animacy or A Breath Manifest by Vica Pacheco (Oaxaca/ Brussels) at Forteresse in the frame of the Belluard Bollwerk Festival in Fribourg.

In her piece Vica Pacheco bridges the realms of animism, ritual, and technology through an evocative sound performance. Drawing inspiration from pre-Columbian Mesoamerican whistling vessels – ceramic instruments that produce sound using air and water – Vica has developed a series of hydraulic ceramic sculptures that serve as both sonic and sculptural works. The performance unfolds as an immersive sonic experience, where she utilizes her body and breath to animate these ceramic vessels, transforming them into an orchestra of voices that blur the line between human and non-human.

Vica Pacheco performance is a part of the 42nd edition of Belluard Bollwerk Festival that takes place every summer over the course of ten days in Fribourg. Through performance, dance and theatre, visual arts, film and installation, music, literature, critical thinking and multiple forms between and beyond disciplines, the festival aims to be an inspiring and convivial space devoted to the love for the arts, to unfamiliar and radical approaches, and aesthetics.

The performance starts at 22:00 and lasts 45 min.

Join us for an apéro and the literature & dance performance The Voll Frau by Camilla Gomes dos Santos and Adriana Carlota at ONO Das Kulturlokal in Bern. The group will meet at 18:00. The performance starts at 20:00.

“Voll Frau” describes the life of a woman through a cycle of poetry that is not only recited but also embodied by an actress. The entire life from birth to death is portrayed, dealing with childhood, youth, love, loss, dreams and other states. The viewer is not only made aware of this through language and speech, but also through the personified inner life of the woman. The dance performed by a dancer reflects emotions, abysses and flights of fancy that cannot always be described in words. Words and movement are not always in balance, which does not mean that the movement cannot accompany the words. The evening is a long poem with musical interludes and acting and dance performances.

ONO Das Kulturlocal is the oldest small theater in Bern located in the heart of the old town. It is an important place in the recent history of the Bern's cultural scene.

Join us for a visit of the exhibition "Accumulation - on Collecting, Growth, and Excess" at the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst and a shared meal in Zurich.

The consequences of excessive growth are becoming ever more visible – and awareness of it is constantly increasing. Yet progress, prosperity and social status continue to be equated with the accumulation of material goods. "Accumulation" invites visitors to engage with the challenges of and alternatives to excess.

The exhibited works with their differing perspectives encourage reflection on the challenges of constant growth and invite discussions about visions for a society centred around the common good, environmental responsibility, and social justice.

The Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst has been discussing the pressing issues of our time, since it was established in 1996, inspired by the approaches and works of international contemporary artists.

Join us for a shared meal and the object theater and performance After All Springville by Miet Warlop (Belgium) at Neues Theater Dornach.

With After All Springville, a crazy theatre happening lands in Dornach. The protagonists: an elegant running table that wants nothing more than to be set, a man who wants to take out the rubbish, a frustrated fuse box, a smoking house and a very long pair of trousers. Together we experience big and small dramas with varying degrees of slapstick and disaster potential. With the lightness of a comic film, the performance tells the tragic story of a failed community. Director and visual artist Miet Warlop has been populating international stages for over 20 years with her absurdly colorful characters, vivid objects and spectacles of form and color.

After All Springville is a part of the Theaterfestival Basel programme. The Theaterfestival Basel takes place every two years and brings highlights from dance, theatre, performance and music.

Art & administration: How to navigate independent cultural projects in Switzerland.

Switzerland is a diverse and vibrant country, making it a fertile ground for cultural work. However, for young artists or those new to administrative processes, navigating this landscape can be challenging. Creating an association is beneficial as it provides a legal structure, facilitating project management and fundraising. Calculating fair salaries and building a budget are crucial; ensure your budget supports rather than hinders your work. Navigating author’s rights with SUISA/SSA is essential for protecting your creations. Securing the necessary insurances shields you from potential risks. Finally, networking is vital; it opens doors to collaboration, funding, and opportunities in the Swiss cultural scene.
