Pole Art & Movement Festival Basel

We welcome you to Switzerland's first Pole Art & Movement Festiva, an entertainment and charity event that takes you on a magical journey of art, acrobatics & human connection. Enjoy an afternoon & evening of beautiful pole dance and bodyweight movement art performed by people of different skill levels, body types, genders and ages. Both local and international industry professionals and amateur artists have prepared their stories to share with you on our beautiful and intimate stage. 

The festival is composed of 2 shows with a unique lineup. The afternoon show starts at 17:00 (doors open 16:30) and is open to ages 5+. The evening show starts at 21:00 (doors open 20:30) and is open to ages 14+ as the performances are sensual or preceded by a trigger warning for mature subject matter. Should you wish to enjoy both shows, you can purchase the full festival pass! 

In between the afternoon and evening show there is a ca. 2-hour festival interval in which guests are asked to leave the theatre. We recommend having a drink or meal at one of the many Gundeli restaurants or bars! 

The event is also working toward social change. 10% of the total profits are going towards Brava NGO, a Swiss charity organisation that combats gender-based violence. By supporting the festival you are directly contributing to this important cause.
