The sea seemed calm, but in the distance, lights flickered. Out of the fog, they appear – dancing, floating, singing. Artists, figures, beings caught between dream and madness. They bring us stories, bodies, and sounds, and blow glitter into the cracks of our reality.
Ahoi dear dreamers*!
Alongside thunderous music acts and bone-rattling DJ sets, Bucht der Träumer* 2025 will once again set the stage for breathtaking live performances.
Get ready for beloved fan favorites flaunting glittering titty tassels and neck-defying acrobatics – as well as transcendental dance bliss, gas station aesthetics, and scaly eco-activism.
Raise the curtain and roll out the stage – it’s showtime for this year’s performance crew!
The wind is in our favor – are you on board?
Thanks for snapping up tickets so eagerly! Only a few hundred regular tickets are still swaying in the harbor. And for all you generous souls out there, there are still Fördertickets available. With these slightly more expensive tickets, you’re helping us co-finance the Reduzini ticket pool. So if you want to be sure you’re sailing with us this August - now’s the time to hop on board!
We’re looking for support!
Our brand-new, still sparkling-white production containers on-site are in desperate need of some real Bucht vibes – and you could be the one to bring them to life! We’re on the lookout for a graffiti artist who’s excited to transform them with a vibrant, animal-inspired mural.
We’re also offering a mandatory internship position from now until the end of August. Still searching for the right crew to gain hands-on experience and let your creativity run wild? Then we’d love to hear from you!
All details about the graffiti gig & internship are now live on our website!

Die Live-Perfomances auf der Bucht der Träumer* 2025
Once again this year, the Bucht will become a stage for performances that move us, shake us up, or sweep us away. Whether it’s queer-feminist cabaret, naked tea rituals, interactive rave art, or absurdly beautiful street theatre – this is where bodies, sound, and chaos come together in all their diversity.
Pinky Promise – we dare you even more
They’re back: Pinky Promise invites you to a queer cabaret show full of ecstasy, elegance, and erotic abysses. From dizzying aerial acrobatics to sensual burlesque, from drag to circus art – this is a celebration of all that glitters, burns, and breaks boundaries. For the first time, they’re taking over the Zirkus Mond – with more room for sparkle and surrender. Come early, the tent fills up fast!
Zirkus Mond, Friday 7 p.m. & Saturday 11 p.m.
The Gasoline Bar – wild, weird, wonderful
A roaring bike, a dancing biker, and a bar that becomes a stage: Mr. Gasoline is rolling through the Bucht with his wild mini-show. The Gasoline Bar is an interactive spectacle of music, absurd theater, boylesque, karaoke, and plenty of surprises. Somewhere between machismo and tenderness, a space emerges where anything is possible – even a lap dance on a motorcycle. Route 69, here we come!
Betonfeld aka Mirage, Thursday 6 p.m.
Animal Instincts for the Planet – The Masketeers Ride In!
On Sunday evening, the Masketiers take over the circus: a flamboyant troupe of fantasy creatures, garbage flood refugees, and anarcho-acrobats. Their mission? Utopia instead of downfall! In a surreal spectacle of theatre, walking acts, and survival skills, the ring becomes an ark – against plastic, for community, and with a whole lot of courage. One for all, all for everyone!
Saturday 7 p.m. Walking Act, Sunday 8 p.m. Zirkus Mond
Pyramid Party – Ecstasy Without Intoxication
A sober rave as ritual: The Pyramid Party invites you on a transformative journey through sound, body, and collective experience. Drag queens guide you through a night between club culture and meditation – raw, hypnotic, beautiful. Here we dance, sweat, swrils and let go – without intoxication, but with depth. An ode to Berlin’s nights and the power of conscious celebration.
Friday 11 p.m., Zirkus Mond
The Naked Tea Party – come as you are
Come naked. Come dressed. Come join us. The Naked Tea Party is an invitation to connect – naked, playful, and full of love for life. Here, a safe space is created for all bodies, for genuine contact and deep connection. With consent, music, and magic, we celebrate what unites us: our humanity. Come dance. Stay free. You are welcome.
Schweißperle, Friday 5–9 PM
SingSisySing – Singing Loud, Not Perfect
One piano, big emotions, and plenty of hits: At SingSisySing, we sing together—loud, off-key, and full of passion. This sing-along show from Berlin Neukölln celebrates the imperfect and invites everyone to join in. Whether you know the lyrics or just hum along—only one thing matters here: the joy of singing. Come by, join the chorus, and sing yourself free.
Saturday, 6 PM, Zirkus Mond
More mind‑blowing performances coming your way!
From rave‑clowning to slick rave‑dance routines in full‑on aerobic attire, the entire festival weekend is packed with wild, off‑beat shows beyond the main stages. Beneath the star‑studded roof of Zirkus Mond, behind Mirage’s curtains, hidden in the pine woods, or popping up out of nowhere in the middle of a field — at Bucht Performances you never quite know what’s in store!
We’re already buzzing with excitement and can’t wait for a sparkling August.
Sincerely,
Bucht der Träumer*
