Les Thermes – Intervention von Sascha Rijkeboer
Les Thermes is a large wooden pool with 25,000 plastic balls that invites you to take a moral bath in Stoic philosophy. You can either enjoy a free swim in the pool or visit one of the interventions in which various guests apply Stoic principles to the themes of the festival and provide further food for thought and discussion.
Sascha Rijkeboer is a slam poet, columnist and trans activist. In a full-length queer spoken word show, Sascha sensitises the audience to gender and gender and justice issues in equal measure.
