Wölflis Weltreise
01.04.2022
So in the middle of the pandemic, when everybody was more or less grounded, we went on a world trip with Adolf Wölfli, who never travelled anywhere.
Wonderful collaboration with the writers collective “Bern ist überall”. Spoken word / music performance in French and German around Wölfli’s Weltreise book, with Antoine Jaccoud, Laurence Boissier, Gerhard Meister, Stefanie Grob, Maru Rieben and Kristina Fuchs. French première in Monthey (in French) in Klee museum Bern (in German) in May 2021. read more

maybe some are not… we don’t know yet.
Difficult times for the arts, for performers, theaters, concert halls, museums, for the audience.
In these days, where everything seems so unsure, Saskia van der Heuvel and her team and I have started an initiative in Amsterdam Noord.
