Urban Variety

— 7th AUG TO 17th OCT 2026 —

Breakdance meets acrobatics

In the fusion of two worlds, breakdance meets acrobatics, street art meets circus art. From beginning to end, the performance is meticulously styled—a rush of light, color, and movement in which acrobatics become part of a contemporary show. The absence of a host goes almost unnoticed—on the contrary, the diverse and perfectly coordinated music plays a key role in creating a harmonious interplay among the performers.

Conclusion: a young, modern, energetic, and captivating show of the highest caliber that hardly leaves you a moment to catch your breath.

Painting & Graphic Art by Arina Heinze

Arina Heinze’s work emerges from an engagement with urban landscapes and everyday city scenes. Her focus lies on seemingly inconspicuous places where nature and man-made structures intersect. What appears banal at first glance reveals, upon closer observation, a subtle and almost melancholic atmosphere. Her attention is directed toward walls, surfaces, and architectural details in the immediate environment, as well as spontaneous elements of wilderness that assert themselves within urban space. In her work, Arina Heinze seeks a symbiosis between nature and artificiality, between organic forms and urban architecture.
