«Winterwald» im Theaterplatz-Quartier
Verteilt auf dem Theater- und Pyramidenplatz finden sich diesen Winter acht klingende und leuchtende Vogelhäuschen im «Winterwald». Diese Audio-Stationen stehen stellvertretend für die kulturelle Vielfalt des Quartiers und laden zum Lauschen, Staunen und Sinnieren ein. Ob Weihnachtslieder, Gedichte, Auszüge laufender Theaterproben oder Geschichten aus dem Quartier – es gibt einiges zu entdecken.
Das Projekt wurde vom Verein Theaterplatz-Quartier gemeinsam mit seinen Kulturhäusern entworfen, mit dem Kollektiv «Audiobande» realisiert und von Milo Schwager und Sina Gerschwiler inszeniert.
Eröffnung
Sonntag, 1. Dezember, 13–15 Uhr, Ansprache um 14 Uhr
