Haus Rüschhaus Garden Hall

Droste's handling of words shows a pronounced sense of hearing. Her poetry in particular is full of noises and sounds. Inspired by this, the sound researcher and sound artist Mirijam Streibl spans an auditory field in the Rüschhaus from the Garden Hall to the Italian Room. The result is an audible space of experience between proximity and distance, between rootedness and longing, between country and city - fluid.

_WALK (NOT) THE LINE_
Interactive-performative walk
kollektiv flexen, House of Blænk
DE
Start: Haus Rüschhaus Kitchen

Flaneusen flexen - in the countryside. With the flaneuses of kollektiv flexen we go on a pseudo-ethnographic exploration of rural spaces. Walk (Not) the Line is an interactive-performative walk in the surroundings of the Rüschhaus. Together with the Drag Queens of House of Blænk, the artists invite us to perceive the feeling of being foreign that arises when moving in unfamiliar surroundings: whether as a city dweller in the countryside or as a country dweller in the city. In doing so, they take their cue from the Westphalian custom of the Schnadgang: before the days of online maps, the inhabitants of a locality would walk along its borders together in order to memorize them. What rituals mark the borders between the familiar and the unfamiliar today?

ACCESSIBILITY:
The events is only partially suitable for people in wheelchairs. It takes place mostly on uneven terrain and hiking trails. We recommend sturdy shoes.
