Strangers are …

Something special at the end of the festival. A celebration of weirdness. An event where you don’t just stop talking. The common denominator will be the search for weirdness*.
* A weirdo is a person, a city, a thing or an animal worth talking about. No weirdo knows himself or herself to be of the weirdo kind. A precise definition of the word weirdo has not yet been created.

Through their stories, other weirdos are easier to connect with. Which shore are you on?

Performers: Dominika Rai, Mária Jánošíková, Sylvia Pabst and Martina Jánošíková
