Opening Ceremony

This year's opening ceremony is a small tribute to the original festival venue: because the “Alte Reithalle” will be permanently transformed by upcoming renovations and will no longer be recognizable as a riding hall. We don’t want to spoil the surprise here but anyone in the old town centre on Friday evening after 7.00 p.m. will probably notice that the festival has started.

At 7.30 p.m. there will be drinks at the Alte Reithalle, followed at 8.00 by the first performance of «Le Vide – essai de cirque». Schroeder will furnish the “Bar im Stall” with a concert atmosphere later that evening.
