FRAMED FEST 2025

June 5th, 2025 – June 18th, 2025  //  

FRAMED FEST returns to Berlin’s iconic Wasserturm with a stunning and ambitious programme – “Homesick”, the first-ever all neon exhibition by world-renowned artist Yael Bartana, eight exclusive duos and original compositions spanning jazz, modern classical and chamber pop… For two weeks each year, the historic Wasserturm in Prenzlauer Berg becomes FRAMED’s home and world stage for all things new and avant-garde, captivating a diverse, urban audience.

The programme includes conventional classical, jazz and world music, sound experiments, visual arts, dance performances and poetic presentations. In addition to the main performances, workshops and lectures are offered to deepen understanding and enable active audience participation. The ‘duet’ format serves as a catalyst for dialogue between different cultures, traditions and genres. It fosters closeness and intimacy, both between artists and between artists and their audiences. It aims to provide a platform where prejudices and barriers are overcome through genuine interpersonal encounters.

Festival Program

Homesick

Thursday 12.06.2025

19:30 Noa & Mira Awad

21:00 Harel Shachal  & Kaveh Sarvarian

Sometimes, our deepest traumatic experiences occurred at home, be it our childhood home, or our hometown or home land. This creates an unbearable disruption. Making one feel forever Homesick & Sick of home at the same time.

On this very special opening night, we’ve invited 2 duets to perform deep and honest musical conversations.

The duets are constructed of exceptional musicians, each from a different origin and culture background.

All the way around

Friday 13.06.2025

19:30 Meg Stuart & Doug Weiss with Mariana Carvalho 

21:00 Guy Braunstein & Lillevan 

Healing often requires going all the way around, as no single solution suffices. Psychological, physical, spiritual, and social approaches must often combine, with no shortcuts, to uncover the unique tools for one’s specific pain or trauma.

On this special evening, we present multidisciplinary duets to show how diverse artistic languages can exchange deep understanding, inspire, and spark inner transformation.

Hummingbirds

Saturday 14.06.2025

19:30 Ama Sade & Secret Artist

21:30 AYA & WAYNE SNOW

Hummingbirds, symbols of vitality and healing, weave joy and balance through their graceful motion. In Native traditions, they are healers; to the Aztecs, resilient souls. Their wings, like heartbeats, echo renewal and love, guiding us to embrace life’s sweetness and the power of transformation.

This evening will be a celebration of love and joy, generously handed to us by 4 extraordinary hummingbirds.

Connection

Sunday 15.06.2025

19:30 Vincent Peirani  & Emile Parisien

21:00 Yonatan Avishai & Avishai Cohen 

When one truly connects with another—physically, verbally, musically, mentally, or in any other form—the soul finds the nourishing soil it needs to heal and thrive. Such connections rely on trust, curiosity, compassion, and flexibility—the ability to authentically respond, in real time, with deep listening and care.

Jazz musicians often master these abilities, and the two duets we are proud to present will offer an inspiring and incredibly fun demonstration of true connection in action.
