Music Concerts, Theatre & dinner@Sommerwerft

Let’s return to the fabulous alternative festival Sommerwerft. Its program features theatre, music, modern dance, poetry, cinema and workshops. There are several stages and a big beer garden as meeting point for the colourful mix of visitors. Tonight’s program couldn’t be much more diverse. There will be a suggested itinerary but you can explore in smaller groups, especially after sunset.

Tonight the musical performances are labelled indie-folk. We meet in the music tent in the middle of the venue from 7pm to listen to the German combo Salma mit Sahne, their songs tell stories about travelling the world. Those who realize they don’t like it (or don’t fit the tent) can just sit and chill in the beer garden area opposite the tent and have drinks/dinner. wraps/Flammkuchen and other snacks, all vegetarian, cocktails, soft drinks, beer/wine, please bring CASH. Instead of the concert, you can also have a look at other performances, e.g. a discussion about climate change (in English), or have a look at the Theatre Workshop.

The first concert finishes just before 8pm and then we try to get the whole meetup group to gather in the beer garden outside the music tent for dinner/drinks and a good chat. Look out for a Meetup sign to find the group.

At 8:30pm I’d suggest another concert with world music singer/songwriter Dominik Friedrich in the same music tent just a few steps away.

Alternatively, people can head to the theatre stage to watch performances of the Queer night (from 9pm)

The theatre performance of the evening comes from Topos Allou theatre from Greece, with the piece „Breathing Earth“ about nature being threatened by humankind, from 9:45pm at the central theatre stage, 100m towards the city from the beer garden.

If that wasn’t enough, there will be a Sound artist making electronic music from nature sounds at 10pm in the music tent.

Entrance to the festival is free, there will be voluntary donations collected for organisers and artists after each show. Donations and drinks/food sales are the main sources of funding for this festival, its survival also depends on us!

There are a few sheltered areas at the festival, e.g. the tent where the concert is, so a few rain showers wouldn’t impede to have the Meetup. In case of heavy rain the event will be cancelled.
