It's amazing that so many of you have already decided to join us at Helenesee in August! Most of the tickets are gone and your trust pushs us further and further! Summer already feels within reach!
However, what makes us angry, is the increasingly open right-wing violence in our country.
The right-wing extremist attacks in Dresden in recent days bring back memories of a time long past. This demands a clear response!
We will not abandon the many committed people who are fighting against racism and in favour of cultural freedom.
The motto of the Bucht der Träumer* 2024 is "Love Conquers Hate". And we don't mean that in a cheesy way, but quite seriously. Sometimes love has to hurt.
That's why we're travelling to Dresden this Saturday with some of our crew members, where the Kashay Salon will be hosting Rave against Racism and Sektor Evolution the Tolerave.
The Rave Against Racism will feature an interactive reading by the Poetry Project, a dance workshop with Tanzen 3000 and music by some of our favourite DJs ;)
Both events serve as fundraisers for the Tolerade on 31 August 2024.
Wer die Tolerade nicht kennt – das ist die If you don't know Tolerade, it's the biggest rave demonstration for tolerance and against right-wing extremism in Saxony!
Last year, we got to know the Moroccan and queer-influenced crew from Dresden's Kashay Salon, who have since taken over part of the responsibility for our sparkling Mirage Stage. Yes, exactly the stage where you can once again experience burlesque cabaret shows with Pinky Promise and hot dance nights with a particularly queer and international booking in August.
It takes courageous projects like the Kashay Salon to prove that we can think differently about the East. Glittering, solidary and tolerant.
This requires cohesion and support, which is why we are also supporting the Rave gegen Rassismus - Vielfalt Verbindet event financially. If you would like to do the same, please contact

Those who can't make it to Dresden this weekend will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and network with actors from the Vielfalt Verbinden - Rave Gegen Rassismus network at our Neuro Dive|rs workshop space in August.
It remains the same
We dance together - we fight together.
Sincerely, Bucht der Träumer*
