Festival Avant-Garten

By and with: 4e / Anca Munteanu / Rimnic / Ligna / Migrantpolitans / Peacetanbul / Jajaja u.v.m.

Hamburg's pearl of the arts leisure parks. Open on all festival days from one hour before the start of the first performance. Free admission!

In front of a colourfully lit and decorated little house, people sit on white garden chairs and watch a Black man talking to them. There are colourful balloons, a neon-coloured palm tree and decorated umbrellas with tassels.
Solicasino
The Kampnagel garden in the evening light. Lush green trees are illuminated by spotlights, neon pink flags hang on the façade, many people stand or sit around in groups and talk.

Meet me at the Bench
In a cosily furnished room with wood and carpets, seven people sit and make music together. They have a guitar, microphones, a zither and a bongo. There is an open bag of chips in front.
Jam-Session
The four members of Boy Division all wear a white shirt and a narrow black tie; they sit casually in a '60s-style conference room, with a white megaphone in front of them, labeled with the band's name.

Kampnagels Avant-Garden is the festival’s lovely centrum and both, Hamburg’s most beautiful summer spot with a large outdoor area with food and drinks by Peacetanbul, the Kampnagel restaurant, and a large funfair with art, concerts and installations – free of charge and open in the evening on all festival days! This year the Avant-Garden is designed by 4E – a team of architects at HafenCity University Hamburg. By making the four elements tangible the team brings the festival garden into an interstellar context: Cosmic Avant-Garden! Here, MIGRANTPOLITAN opens its doors daily with, among other things, the famous Solicasino, there will be top-class readings and concerts at Waldbühne in the framework of TALKING BACK, and late night Summer Festival stars JAJAJA will extend their RADIO ATOPIA format with many guests Fridays and Saturdays: with headphones that can be borrowed free of charge, they will once again transform the garden into a firefly sea of happily moving people. In addition, there will be exhibitions of Jacolby Satterwhite on view, site specific installations by visual artist and performance maker ANCA MUNTEANU RIMNIC, and by LIGNA: the Hamburg performance art collective brings different listening-choreographies to the festival garden with MEET ME AT THE BENCH.

Open on all festival days (09-27 August) from one hour before the start of the first performance.

JAJAJA Radio Atopia with headphones: Always Friday and Saturday from 21:30.

A white man is sitting on a bed wearing a medical headgear and a pink smock with lots of hair stuck to it. He pulls a strand of hair away from him with a slightly disgusted look. A mug of coffee and a head of lettuce lie around him.
