Blooming from a Neobarrosa pit

Walk-Performance mit Marcela Moraga

A firebug who sprinkles around in Körnerpark will instruct us about how this controlled, baroque nature has been kept intact across the centuries. To commence, a rather singular discussion takes place between the bug and the one of the garden’s putti. As the tour group continues down the alley of plane trees, some of the questions that the “mammal listeners” pose shall be answered, such as: Was anything like an insurrection ever staged by the central lawn? Or by the climbing plants? Why is Körnerpark referred to as a “paradise without bees”? After a stroll through the flower garden, passing by alligators and urns of fruit, the firebug will make a choreographic presentation at the waterfall or “Mayan pyramid”, so as to impress upon us the immutable symmetry of this architectonic landscape. Sans souci!

The event will be in German.
