FLUXUS FESTIVAL


Once every year, ever since 2018, the Fluxus Festival has reclaimed Parodos Hill from the rushing traffic, handing it over to merrymakers climbing the Parodos Hill in the most outlandish costumes. They ascend the hill in whatever way their imagination takes them, whether it be backwards, in somersaults, with their eyes closed, or having hitched a friend to a wheelbarrow to pull it along. 🤯

And at the top of the hill, a dessert awaits 🧁- an (un)expected and (extra)ordinary creative happening consisting of music, performances and artistic installations.

Buckle up – in the year of the European Capital of Culture 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣2️⃣, the fifth Fluxus Festival on 10 September will be bigger and more fantastic than ever before.

The theme of this year’s festival: INSTRUCTION MANUALS. Forget boring leaflets, labels, and diagrams. When you reach the top of the hill, you’ll be greeted by a Fluxus performance campus bursting with the most bizarre performances, and everyone who visits will be involved in the frantic action. Fluxus instruction manuals, which will be scattered throughout the festival space, will invite you to break out of the everyday and experience your daily routine upside down.
