Flying Gardens
by Tim Zulauf/KMUProduktione
Biologists Aylin and Per are researching the use of microbes in vegetable beds: how could plastic pollution be removed from local biogas compost?

The evening’s performance takes us from the origins of life to dazzling visions: new ecologies blossom from vocal bodies, compost, and image and sound technologies …
Once again, Yves Netzhammer and Nikki Buzzi are collaborating with KMUProduktionen for ‘Fliegende Gärten’. The artists’ visual and sound worlds were last interwoven in 2022/23 with Tim Zulauf’s texts and the spaces of the Swiss stock exchange SIX. The team is now continuing this collaboration with a focus on nutrition and ecology – this time as an open-air performance taking place at the Grünhölzli gardening collective.
Please bring your fully charged smartphone to the performance! Sturdy shoes and a jacket are recommended.
How to get there: Take bus routes 45, 67 or 78 towards “Dunkelhölzli” to the “Salzweg” stop, then a 3-minute walk.
