LITERARY WALK: THE COCKROACH IS ME

Basel, meeting point will be announced at registration.

The harbour area is teeming with life: it is one of the few places in Basel offering good living conditions for insects. What looks like weeds and scrub to us, is home to beetles, ants and Co. Between cruise ships and disused railway lines we will dive into ‘The Passion According to G. H.’ by Clarice Lispector. The Brazilian author recounts how an encounter with a cockroach destroys the narrow confines of human identity. A rapprochement with these often unnoticed guardians of our ecosystem.

In cooperation with Zentrale für Umweltausstellungen.

Length: 1 ½ hours
Cost: CHF 35.– / KulturLegi: CHF 24.50 / students & apprentices: CHF 20.–

We will let you know the meeting place after your registration. The number of participants is limited.

You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the walk. If you cancel later, you will be charged the ticket amount.
