2021
Corona still holds the world in suspense. LA STRADA develops a modular concept and implements different event formats from March to November. From a theatre play in a Live-Stream, the Kunstpark, a building arts park in the Wallanlagen and hopeful angels above the rooftops of the city, to a small festival version in Knoops Park and Blumenthal. A day dedicated to contemporary circus rounds off the year in November!
