It featured an exciting line-up of international dance, music and theatre productions, the GRUNCHY VILLA and the project Symbiosen by raumlaborberlin and Raul Walch. An accompanying programme of enriching “humus” events included the bicycle repair workshop Mirker Schrauba, lessons in how to build insect hotels and opportunities for upcycling.
