Fidena Festival: Sisypholia makes the streets of Bochum vibrate

With Sisypholia, the Fidena Festival 2026 brings a poetic urban performance to Bochum's Bermuda3Eck. The production by Cie Tchaïka / Belova-Iacobelli is scheduled for May 15 to 16, 2026, as part of the festival program and combines international puppet theater with public space. Since 1958, Fidena has stood for outstanding puppet theater in Bochum and the surrounding area and is considered one of the oldest theater festivals in Germany.

A festival moment between movement and observation

The focus is on a performative urban intervention that transforms the mythology of Sisyphus into a lively, absurd, and simultaneously precise observation of our consumer culture. According to the official project description, a relatable Sisyphus figure rolls a gigantic ball made of clothes through shopping streets or passages, creating a poetic irritation in the daily flow of passersby. This is precisely where Fidena's strength lies: puppet theater leaves the stage and becomes part of the city. ([tchaika.art](https://tchaika.art/sisypholia-en/))

Bermuda3Eck as an open festival stage

The venue Bermuda3Eck on Kortumstraße is far more than just a backdrop. The area is known as a vibrant nightlife district in the heart of Bochum, characterized by gastronomy, nightlife, and a steady flow of visitors. For an urban performance like Sisypholia, the perfect blend of intimacy, movement, and spontaneous discovery is created here. The festival not only utilizes a location but a city space that becomes part of the staging itself. ([bochum.de](https://www.bochum.de/bermuda3eck/?utm_source=openai))

What the audience can expect

Those who experience Sisypholia will not get a classic stage experience, but a multi-layered multi-day festival feeling with art in public space, movement through the city, and a strong sense of community. The performance invites participants to sharpen their gaze on consumption, repetition, and urban routines. That is why this date is one of the most exciting moments of the Fidena Festival 2026. Being there live means experiencing city, theater, and festival atmosphere in a single, surprising image. ([tchaika.art](https://tchaika.art/sisypholia-en/))
