Hoffest — Kreative Nachbarschaft — TONALi Festival 2026

In the organizer's words:

Art event - dreaming and creating together

On June 27, 2026, we invite you to a special courtyard festival - a day full of encounters, shared creativity and artistic experiences. The highlight: a 20-metre-long paper track on the TONALi farm is waiting to be filled with artistic drawings, movements and sounds by you and many other guests. At the end of the day, everything will come together to create a unique score that we will bring to life together.

Program

(courtyard) festival of encounters

The courtyard festival combines neighborhood with artistic activity. The day begins at 11 a.m. with workshops on the TONALi Campus, while the house concerts in the neighborhood start at the same time. Experts from the fields of drawing, dance and music will accompany interested guests. At the same time, visitors will have the opportunity to take part in 1:1 Encounters - a new format of neighborhood encounters in the spirit of 1:1 CONCERTS*, a project by Franziska Ritter and Christian Siegmund.

In the 1:1 encounters - the 10-minute blind dates - two people sit opposite each other at a table. There are question cards on the table. The format is simple: draw a card, read the question, think briefly, look each other in the eye and answer the question for around 5 minutes. Then your counterpart changes or you start a new encounter. This format - inspired by the 1:1 CONCERTS idea of real neighborhood encounters - creates moments of attention, vulnerability and human connection.

At 15:00 we invite everyone to the courtyard. There will be a warm, invigorating soup. Afterwards, everyone is invited to bring their impressions and impulses - whether just experienced or long dormant - to life on the 20-metre-long paper track. One artist for drawing, one for choreography and one for music will accompany you.

At 4 p.m. the time has come: the resulting art track becomes a score. The community performs it for the first time - by making music, dancing and performing together. This moment is the final chord of the courtyard festival: the transformation of individual impulses into collective art.

Subject to change without notice.

* 1:1 format - inspiration & creator

The 1:1 encounters are based on the format of the 1:1 CONCERTS, initiated by Franziska Ritter, Christian Siegmund and Stephanie Winker. The format of intensive 10-minute encounters has developed into a worldwide movement that promotes genuine human connection and attention. More about 1:1 CONCERTS
