Festival Avant-Garten

Waldbühne

19:00 JULIANE LIEBERT Juliane Liebert works as a freelance writer and journalist, among others for the Süddeutsche Zeitung, DIE ZEIT and DER SPIEGEL, and is one of the most idiosyncratic and strongest voices in the male-dominated German-language pop feuilleton. The Berlin-based author also writes prose and poetry and has published several books, including »Hurensöhne! Über die Schönheit und Notwendigkeit des Schimpfens« (Son of a Bitch! On the Beauty and Necessity of Ranting). In 2021, Suhrkamp published the poetr collection »lieder an das große nichts« (songs to the great nothing) on which the taz wrote: »The irony, the metaphor, the subtext, everything is right.« We agree, and that's why Liebert will be reading from her poems on the Waldbühne at the Summer Festival.

FESTIVAL AVANT-GARTEN INFO

Like last year, Hamburg's pearl of pleasure parks will be designed by JASCHA&FRANZ - conceptually accompanied by the long-time festival associated performance group JAJAJA and extended by a Waldbühne by Urs Amadeus Ulbrich and Gras & Steine. With references to fun fairs and theme parks and with a concept for accessibility, the Festival Avant-Garden offers various areas with installations, performances, culinary delights from the Peacetanbul Restaurant and a daily changing program on several open-air stages and the Migrantpolitan building (details in the program overview).

Capacity is limited due to the pandemic and access is only possible with a personalized ticket (3€, available in advance and at the box office). With a ticket for another festival performance on the same evening you can enter the garden for free - as long as there is enough capacity, otherwise there might be bridgeable waiting times. Seated areas in front of the various garden stages will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Details about hygiene rules on site will be published here in due time.

HERE you will find all the latest information and Corona rules for your visit.
