Is an interdisciplinary, experimental and creative encounter in Bad Cannstatt
************
************
Artists from different disciplines, including dance, music, theatre and visual arts, are discovering public space as an alternative performance venue.
They investigate the potential of Bad Cannstatt’s special space as an exciting meeting space, using the existing data and the backdrop of the district as inspiration for their artistic works.
Historical political and current local issues can be negotiated, such as the special importance of water, the question of mobility or the growing vacancy rate that characterizes the streetscape.
