Flow- Sustainability Days

Badisches Staatstheater, Karlsruhe

The current edition of our Sustainability Days is all about flow. How do we want to shape our future? What are the good examples or the right ways to bring life on earth into a healthy flow in the future?

The focus of this concert is the sea, which audibly inspires all the works featured– with its incessant wave movements, foaming, spraying, and sparkling in the sunlight. The concert will be accompanied by films from photographer Julia Ochs, who has impressively captured the rich and diverse beauty of the oceans.

The concert takes place in collaboration with the interdisciplinary project Paradise Found and various Karlsruhe cultural institutions as part of the Sustainability Days 2025, which this year revolve around the theme of the ocean: a weekend full of stimulating discussions, workshops, readings, walks, and lectures by renowned climate scientists, marine biologists, and committed artists.
