Erzählfest Ueberstorf
The month of October saw the ‘Kultur allTag’ group organise the Ohrenschmaus festival of stories in dialect in the magnificent and sun-kissed setting of the Ueberstorf Castle gardens. The stories, for both children and adults, were extremely diverse. The Town Musicians of Bremen was told to the youngest, while the audience listened to a series of eight surprise tales in different German dialects. Sagas in Singine dialect preceded a story about clairvoyance for the adults. The storytellers then met in a grand final before the glittering night-time closing spectacle.
Si le colibri – Songe d’une nuit d’hiver
In December 2025, the Fribourg contemporary circus group ‘Si le colibri’ presented its cabaret show Songe d’une nuit d’hiver at Tour Vagabonde in Fribourg. Circassian artists, professionals from Fribourg and experienced performers from outside the Canton excited and charmed their audience in a warm and unique atmosphere. Clowning, juggling hats, balls and other items, balancing on chairs, acrobatic dance and harp, song and music made a great spectacle, poetic, colourful and charged with emotion as part of a rich and unexpected sensory journey.
