A flowing evening between body, sound, and image
With Flow River Flow, a space for a performance that brings together movement, live music, and the poetic power of the river opens up at the Artists' Guild Ulm. The project is designed as the conclusion of the Ulm Triennial of Art and connects Verena Holscher's butoh-oriented performance with Reinhard Köhler's installation. The event on August 30, 2026, at 4:00 PM is announced as an open art and stage experience with free entry.

When the body becomes a stream
The performance considers the river not just as a motif but as a theatrical driving force. Butoh, live music, and installation art intertwine into a dense, bodily stage where every gesture acts like a current. Verena Holscher's movements, which arise from the inner flows of the body, promise a stage experience of quiet intensity and precise concentration.

Triennial, Danube, and artistic exchange
The 24th Ulm Triennial of Art is themed around New in Flow in 2026 and is closely linked to the International Danube Festival. The Danube serves here as a symbol for change, exchange, and transformation. This is precisely where Flow River Flow draws its tension: from the encounter of contemporary art, performance, and the atmosphere of a place where the local art scene and public perception touch directly.

A place with the DNA of an art association
The Artists' Guild Ulm is a traditional art association founded in 1919 with rooms located at Donaustraße 5 in Ulm. The place represents exhibitions, courses, and artistic practice; for the Triennial, it is part of a network of art associations, BBK artists' house, and Ulm Museum. For visitors, this creates an atmosphere where proximity, concentration, and contemporary art intertwine. ([kultur-in-ulm.de](https://www.kultur-in-ulm.de/veranstalter/kuenstlergilde-ulm-e-v/))
Conclusion
Flow River Flow promises not a loud theater evening, but a subtle, sensual art event: a interplay of body, sound, and image that makes the Danube experienceable as a symbol of movement and transformation. Anyone who wants to experience contemporary performance art with a special spatial effect should attend this event live.
