ST. MATTHÄUS  ∞  "COMMUNION"

Entrance Ceremony → Poeji → Tomo Katsurada

Poeji, opens. Just voice and drums. Tender, raw, some lines sang in Mongolian; familiar echos, the heartbeat kind.

Following: Tomo Katsurada (founder and lead singer of Kikagaku Moyo) invites you to ‘Dream of the egg’ with Jonny Nash & special guest Maasl Maier —Inspired by a fever dream, picture-book psych, hand-played, close and luminous.

The festival begins!

ZIRKA  ∞  "EFFUSION"

Shā Mò → Hodo Gaia → Ko Shin Moon

Zirka, our creative HQ, opens like a valve: exhibition, workshops and concerts.

Pushing folk, synth, and Mediterranean currents into one moving body, plugging traditional strings (saz/buzuq/zurna) into drum machines and warm analog synths, Ko Shin Moon crafts otherworldly hybrid melodies where psychedelia meets space disco—channeling Haruomi Hosono’s experimental spirit into cosmic synthesis.

But first, Shā Mò and Hodo Gaia. Local scene leads, global waves answer. 

Ready for take off?

ZIRKA  ∞  "IMMERSION"

Maasl Maier → Jacco Gardner → Marta de Pascalis
→ Overmacht × María Pandiello DJ

What door of perception opens when sound pours from 

four directions at once?

A quadraphonic experience curated by Jacco Gardner and María Pandiello, ‘Four Corners’ reshapes our relationship to space and sound by placing everyone inside the same sonic field.

With selected guests Maasl Maier and Marta de Pascalis exploring quadraphonia in their own way, the music moves where it must, crafting beauty in urgent synths-sculpted rhythms.

The line bends but never breaks, with Overmacht's show morphing into María Pandiello's DJ set without interruption.

IMPORT EXPORT  ∞  "PORNFUNK"

Mitsune → Seducation DJ → Konomono → Gio Clam Jam DJ → Rainbowhead → Malayka Erpen DJ

Push another door and you’ll find yourself surfing the psychedelic extravaganza!

We couldn't celebrate 8 years of Behind the Green Door without a Psychedelic Porn Funk Experience, our ever-experimental, organic rave formula, with handpicked live music and sophisticated vinyl slingers.

Special live performances by Mitsune, Konomono and Rainbowhead; devilish tunes by Seducation, Malyka Erpen and Gio Clam Jam... An all-night-long anniversary trip!

IMPORT EXPORT  ∞  "ELEVATION"

Teresa Allgaier → Simon Popp → Alabaster dePlume

Alabaster dePlume builds love out of circular melodies and air as light as a feather. His message is simple and disarming: “Don’t forget you’re precious.”

Light against dark, wood against wire, minimal yet intricate... Simon Popp's solo performance makes use of rhythms as storytelling mechanisms.

Teresa Allgaier presents Sophia Jani's composition 'Six Pieces for Solo Violin', challenging the notion of simplicity and weaving a tapestry of gentle consonance and contemplation.

Big voyage, very intimate setting: a rare chance!

Close your eyes… feel the room expand.

ZIRKA  ∞  "ERUPTION"

Cosmica Bandida →  Devon Rexi → Lucidvox  → Giortensia
→ Baby Berserk → Rumpeln →  L’Éclair

L’Éclair will bring this high-tension night to its peak with rhythm alchemy born of Swiss electro/acoustic instinct — groove and dynamics locking bodies and minds in step. But first, the psychedelic cumbia of Cosmica Bandida, the heavy fuzz of Lucidvox, the polyrhythms of Devon Rexi, and the queer power-pop house of Baby Berserk.

ZIRKA goes full endorphin mode—serving a long, delicious lineup, that overflows in every room... Head on a sidequest and meet Giortensia's dadaist, B-movie inspired audiovisual project, or the high-energy performance of Rumpeln, made of video cut-ups and noise experiments.
