Yeah, also in 2024 we’ll have fun with cakes and togetherness. We take time for ourselves to empower, let go, get to know each other and to connect and organise community. In these days we want to use body and/or mind for a deepening of our queer living, for resistances against heteronormativity, and for taking space to face (difficult) challenges, experiences and feelings.
Tortenessen takes place at Wagenplatz Bethlehem in Bern (Switzerland) from 6th to 7th of July 2024. We will set up the Tortenessen on July 3 to 5, enjoy the days of July 6-7, 2024, and tear down together again on July 8 to 10. We appreciate all helping hands with set up and tear down. There are ears that have heard that the experience is even more enjoyable when you are involved in assembly and/or disassembly and that no previous experience is necessary.
The Organisation of “Tortenessen” is being provided non-paid by a small collective. At the festival itself, however, all the participants are called to make the festival happen. Everybody is asked to help and support after one’s own capability with cooking, cleaning, awareness, setting up and demounting, baking cakes and more.
The “Tortenessen” is a benefit event. All proceeds (minus expenses) will go to the collective Şahmaran. At Tortenessen everything is based on collection. Everybody can give (or not) what they can for food, performances, workshops, cakes, nailpolish …
