 The Fest of Fools is a festival that highlights humor as a medium in choreography, cultural practice and social dialogue. Held over three days, the festival brings together five choreographers who utilize humor as a liberating cultural technique to address and clarify its systemic relevance, particularly during times of crisis.

Through five performances and one workshop, “Humor as a choreographic, aesthetic and political tool in cultural praxis” , the festival investigates humor as both a cultural and social phenomenon. The works presented aim to examine humor’s essential aspects and its cathartic function, exploring its potential to create distance, provoke thoughts and break societal boundaries. The festival seeks to present a variety of artistic expressions, using humor as a tool for critique and a catalyst for transformation.

In July 2025, Kysy Fischer and her collective ABA NAIA will move into Schloss Bröllin to work on two new solos.

“naked” by Kysy Fischer is an exploration of the naked body on stage. This discourse is told through the story of the performer, who wanted to become a dancer as a child in Latin America in the 1990s. Fischer’s first dance solo is about the friction between the material reality of a child whose family could not afford to buy a costume for dancing and the concreteness of an adult body on a stage – both as possibilities to shape the fantasy of dancing.
