Maybe one knows what the other is doing for living or where she or he lives. Little do we know about the talents our neighbours have. We do not know about the instruments they play, if they love to sing, to paint pictures or to develop pictures at home. Which rare vegetables they harvest, how many colours the socks have they knit and how often and well they are telling stories. This Saturdy we invited all neighbours to enter the stage of the Schwendermarket and bring along their violines and guitares, to raise their voices, to perform their passions.
