Yesterday’s weather kept us nervous but what a day it was: The Moon is up and though the evening was interupted by a thunderstorm it could’t destroy the unique and truly magical atmosphere. It will stay on Ziegelwiese until Sunday. Come and visit, picknick or simply enjoy some stargazing. Until then, enjoy some photos of the festivals kick-off with Luke Jerrams “Museum of the Moon” on our Social Media accounts: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter.
SILBERSALZ Opening Night
For the festivals official opening we are moving indoors: Electronicos Fantasticos! are playing their unique diy-instruments in the pitoresc scenery of Puschkinhaus. Prof. Johannes Vogel, General Director of Berlins Naturkundemuseum, is holding the openings keynote.
If you can’t come to the location tonight, you are lucky: There will be a facebook live-broadcasting – with the support of some aspiring journalists of SILBERSALZ’ youth program, in cooperation with Science2Public.
Electronicos Fantasticos! will play again on Saturday, 22nd June, in Puschkinhaus
