For four days, Arosa was transformed into the stronghold of dialect. The 8th Dialect Festival offered a unique mix of music, cabaret, literature and dialects. Over 30 artists performed in 15 shows and offered the audience a varied program, which was accompanied live by SRF. Highlights such as the cabaret evening by Lisa Christ and the humorous-literary program by Sina, Ralf Schlatter and Bänz Friedli entertained visitors at the highest level.
Artistic Director Bänz Friedli was delighted: "The festival once again proved how diverse and lively dialect is. From hip-hop to theater to low-fi electropop - the various forms of expression are a true celebration of understanding."
In addition to the stages in the festival center, the Valsana Hotel and the Kursaal, cultural highlights in the open air, such as the bird walk with literary interludes, also generated enthusiasm. Another highlight was the "Songmapp" app, which makes it possible to experience the dialect festival all year round.
