Cade & MacAskill - THE MAKING OF PINOCCHIO
Who hasn’t heard the story of the wooden puppet who wanted to become a real boy? But what does it mean to become a real boy? In THE MAKING OF PINOCCHIO, Rosana Cade and Ivor MacAskill explore this question. On a film set, they encounter the Cricket, the Fairy, Geppetto, and the Whale as the transformation gradually takes place. Yet here, everything is different and has a hidden layer:
The artist couple began developing THE MAKING OF PINOCCHIO in 2018 as a response to Ivor MacAskill’s gender transition. They connect their experiences with the ambiguous story of the wooden puppet who wants to be a real boy. Their shared transformation is at the heart of this tender work, which is the product of this metamorphosis. What happens when the person you love suddenly turns into someone else? A magnificent theatrical machine is set in motion, full of fantasy and real-life experiences, intimacy, and dry British humor.
Both shows are relaxed Performances. On Friday, there will be an Live-Audiodescription in english language.
Die Wut des Panthers
Amid the social upheavals of the 1968 movement, the “Black Panther Party” posed the greatest political threat to the U.S. government. In light of current events and the newly formed “Black Lion Party,” we take a look at the movement’s achievements, consequences, organizational structure, and the critical role of women.
When: Fri, March 27, 2026, starting at 7 p.m. (program) // starting at 6 p.m. (networking)
Anyone interested is welcome to meet up as early as 6 p.m. to discuss antifascism and network.

IN SOLIDARITY: Urgent fundraiser event for Lebanon
We are gathering on Friday 27 March to raise emergency funds for local organisations and collectives in Lebanon that are supporting displaced individuals, families, and migrant workers in Beirut and Chouf areas.
For more than two weeks, Lebanon has been under constant attacks from Israel with the help of the Western empire of death. Nearly one million has been displaced within a week.
Since a decade, this Western colonial machine has been committing genocide and atrocities across Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran, Iraq and beyond. The result has been unimaginable displacement, death, destruction, long term diseases, war trauma, and environmental catastrophy.
We are gathering, not to party – but to grieve, be together and act in solidarity.
There will be live performances:
20:00 Philipp Eden x Rim Harrabi
21:00 coeurs brisés
22:00 fratzen
Drinks, food and generous artworks by @hgkbasel_institutkunst students and Basel-based artists will be available on site.
All benefits will go directly to @ma3ba3ed and @egnalegna to provide mattresses, blankets, food, shelter support, hygiene products, menstrual products, medicine, etc.
The event is pay-what-you-can, with a suggested minimum donation of 15 CHF.
Cash and Twint only.
Venue is barrerfree and wheelchair accessible, there will be no strobe lights.
