Ahoy, dear Dreamers!
We already gave you a little teaser in our last newsletter: Our 2026 Cultural Programme for the Bay, including all performance dates and venues, is finally online! We’re continuously updating the programme, so it’s definitely worth checking back regularly.
Here’s a little sneak peek into the dazzling world of performances, full of glitter and glamour. We can already reveal this much: the sky will be danced to, the gods will be serenaded, teacups will be raised, and sofa cushions will be shaken out. From the circus tent to Blaseburg, you can look forward to beloved favourites as well as one-of-a-kind new discoveries.
And for the first time in the history of the Bay, there will be a movie night! For that, we’re looking for your films and video submissions. Whether it’s the “10 Years of Pinky Promise” documentary, a mockumentary about Heimlich Müller as an Ibiza DJ, behind-the-scenes footage from the making of Sissy Bravo, or your favourite party videos – send us everything that deserves a spot on the big screen! When we snuggle into the sofas at the Cuddle Poodles on Sunday evening, your creations could be playing. You can upload your clips here.
Performance Programme 2026
Pinky Promise Cabaret Show
Circus Mond, Friday 10:30 pm–12:00 am // Saturday, 10:30 pm–12:00 am
Pinky Promise is back – with a provocative, sensual and queer-erotic cabaret show packed with breathtaking performances: aerial acrobatics, pole dance, burlesque, drag, and devilishly divine acts of defiance. Returning to Circus Moon with plenty of glamour, ecstasy and boundary-pushing. Come early! Warning: lots of nudity!
Pyramid Party
Circus Mond, Thursday 6:00–7:30 pm
Pyramid Party is a sober rave drag ceremony made for Berlin nights: raw, dark and liberating. Drag queens guide you through a transcendent ritual of hypnotic DJ sets and dance meditation. A collective ecstasy beyond intoxication and control: a spiritual awakening on the dancefloor. Chaos, beauty, transformation and you right in the middle of it.
The Naked Tea Party
Schweißperle, Friday, 5:00–7:00 pm
The Naked Tea Party invites you to celebrate life naked, playful and free. In a safe space built on respect, consent and openness, a community of courageous bodies and liberated souls comes together. Come for the dancing, stay for the magic.
A love letter to our very existence. Wild, honest and unapologetically bare.
Circus Mond’s Circ du Rave
Circus Mond, Thu., Fri., Sat. 8:00–9:30 pm
Welcome to Circus Moon’s SUMMER HITS – the most unnecessary and yet absolutely essential circus show of the year.
All style, no filter, maximum nonsense.
Get ready for a dazzling whirlwind of sequins, near misses and pure summer hit vibes. From Cyr wheel to karaoke, anything can happen and nothing is guaranteed. Expect glorious chaos. Circus Moon is mixing up your summer!
WIKABARETT
Circus Mond, Sunday, 8:00–9:30 pm
Warning: explicit content! WIKABARETT is contemporary cabaret – loud, wild and uncompromising. Blending performance, music and provocation, it explores freedom, societal constraints and the right to live life on your own terms. A powerful act of liberation full of energy, attitude and ecstasy. Not to be missed!
Shenanigames
Dezentral, Friday, 1:00–7:00 pm // Saturday, 1:00–7:00 pm
The Shenanigames are here – the brand-new festival highlight! The concept? A merciless tournament of absurd games from legendary realms. The teams? Duos in full battle mode. The disciplines? Wild, ridiculous and absolutely reputation-damaging! Anyone who takes part hands in their dignity right at the entrance. In the end, only one duo will be crowned. Are you in?
To dazzling days and nights full of surprises,
your Bucht der Träumer*
