Wildwuchs Festival

Wildwuchs is a multi-day cultural festival that comprises all sectors of the arts, including music, theater, dance, literature, lectures, readings, visual arts, architecture, design, fashion, and performance. This year the festival will take place over three weekends between May 23 and June 8, 2025.
Under the title “m_other tongues,” numerous artists will explore how language divides and connects with a program of theater, performance, dance, and much more. What does it mean to be at home in a language? What happens when that language doesn't do us justice? How do we anchor new means of expression to share what moves and connects us? Language shapes our reality, creates boundaries, and opens paths. Stories are told in it—while others remain misunderstood. Various artists will explore this topic from different perspectives. This will create a diverse program of theater, performance, dance, participatory formats, and more. There will also be a mobile festival center and artistic childcare. New this year is that the Wildwuchs Festival will take place over three consecutive weekends, with the aim of improving accessibility—both for the audience and for the people who work at Wildwuchs. The first weekend (May 23-25) will take place at the ROXY Birsfelden, the second weekend (May 30-June 1) will take place at Kaserne, and the third weekend (June 6-8) will take place in public spaces.
