On 25th and 26th of March the annual street festival CubaDupa will take place in Wellington’s most vibrant street. Under the motto “beat the street” the unique and creative spirit of Cuba Street and Wellington’s community will be celebrated. The program consists of a varied range of music and theatre performances and workshops by international artists.
German Artists at CubaDupa
The Goethe-Institut is also part of the lively street fest: Not only because the office is in Cuba Street but also because the Institut supports the German YoYo Artist
Dave Geigle and the Berlin band
Princessin Hans.
Dave Geigle
"More than just up and down!" This is how you could describe the artistic performance of Dave Geigle. For nearly two decades this young Berliner has been yoyoing around - so successfully that he has been European Champion five times! With tricks like "Around the world", "Eiffel Tower" and "Rock the Baby" as well as performing with two yoyos simultaneously, Dave Geigle amazes audiences with his cool show. Come and have a look and then give it a go yourself under Dave Geigle's expert guidance!
Princessin Hans
Princessin Hans is a band from Berlin with core members Jörg Hochapfel and Hans Kellett. New Zealand-born Hans has been active in the Berlin queer and punk scene since moving to Berlin in 2001 and was described by the French press as “the perfect mixture of Pamela Anderson and Rasputin” after performing at Moulin Rouge.
Musical genius at the piano Jörg has spent the past years ignoring the borders between Jazz, Pop and Experimental Music. Together they have re-imagined 1920s Berlin cabaret for the 21st century, earning their title as the Wild Children of Berlin Chanson.
Admission is free.
