Characters take over every level and corner of the multi-layered Kunsthaus ACUD. The KINO invites you to revisit the juiciest cuts from last year’s animation selection. The THEATER recruits you as creative cannon fodder in the epic battle between human creation and machine intelligence, and the STUDIO witnesses the revival of legendary Pingpongcountry — a communal round-the-table game to the uplifting sounds of unheard country music, brought to you by the Golden Country Guys! Down in the CLUB, Dornika performs a mix of drag, music and dance.
