Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Only the Illusion Counts

In this special magic show, everything revolves around the subtle art of deception. With wit, charm, and precise performance, Wittus Witt, Germany's renowned magician leads his audience to the boundary between reality and illusion. He reveals nothing—yet everything seems obvious. An evening that proves: truth is a matter of perspective. What counts is what becomes visible in the illusion.

The Zauber-Salon is located inside the Bellachini Museum, Germany’s only cultural history museum dedicated to the art of magic. Evening guests are welcome to visit the museum from 7:15 p.m. at no extra charge.

Open Studio at Atelier Wipke – Experience Contemporary Abstract Acrylic Painting

Hamburg, August 1, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

On Saturday, August 1, 2026, Atelier Wipke in Hamburg-Rothenburgsort will open its doors to art enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone looking for inspiration from modern abstract painting.

As part of an open studio day, artist and studio founder Wibke Bein-Wierzbinski will present her latest works in contemporary abstract acrylic painting. The large- and medium-format works are characterized by flowing palettes, vibrant compositions, and a unique dynamism. Associations with nature—such as water, wind, light, fog, and landscapes—are not depicted representationally but are instead made tangible as atmospheric spaces of movement.

Wibke’s painting is shaped by her long-standing exploration of movement, bodily awareness, and development. These experiences flow directly into her art. Movement becomes not only visible but also palpable. The works open up space for individual interpretation and invite viewers to discover their own thoughts, memories, and emotions within the color compositions.

Visitors have the opportunity to view the current works in a relaxed atmosphere, learn more about the creative processes behind the paintings, and engage in personal conversation with the artist. The focus is on both artistic questions and the impact of color, movement, and spatial design.

Atelier Wipke sees itself as a place of encounter, inspiration, and perception. The exhibited works are suitable for private living spaces as well as for medical practices, businesses, hotels, or other architecture-related spaces where atmosphere, openness, and visual identity play a special role.

Parkour holiday kids camp in Hamburg Nord

In August 2026, Simon Pouly and his team are running a parkour holiday camp at the brand-new parkour hall of Fight and Flight Movement Centre.

Two full weeks of parkour and other activities await kids aged 8 to 14 — Monday to Friday, 3–7 August and 10–14 August 2026 — no prior experience needed.

The day starts with a flexible drop-off between 8 and 9 am. Mornings are dedicated to parkour training: vaults, balance, jumps, rolls and much more. Obstacles get tackled in all kinds of ways and with a lot of fun. Those who already know the basics get tips and tricks to sharpen their technique; complete beginners are introduced to the sport gently and at their own pace. By the end of the week, participants can take our "Parkour Licence" test and will be ready to join our free training sessions and open sessions.

After a shared lunch (freshly prepared on-site and included in the price), the afternoons offer plenty of variety: free parkour training, trying out grappling with our BJJ black belt, learning flips, and — for those who fancy it — wood carving. There's also always the option to take it easy with something quiet.

We're looking forward to a great time with the kids!

Please let us know about any dietary requirements after booking.

Simon Pouly was born and raised in New Zealand and is happy to accommodate english speaking kids.
