PotStreet Line-Up
ChéRebel | Electronic music | Germany
Born in Berlin, Ché’s musical roots span various genres like rock, hip-hop, and dubstep, which captivated him with their energetic and dynamic sound. Inspired by the vibrant club culture of his hometown, he found his true calling in genres such as techno, trance, and psytrance.
Ché has been a regular street performer for about 10 years. He started in Mauerpark with a guitar and now presents a live electronic show with synthesizers.
Hania Nafali | Guitar music | Poland
Guitarist and songwriter Hania Nafali is from Poland. Since 2017, she has been travelling the world with various projects (Nesztojegore, HuRaban, Terra de Areia). She has released six studio albums.
Her solo project is a concert full of inexhaustible female energy with world music, music from her Slavic and cosmic roots, interwoven with rock music standards in her own arrangements.
Kollektiv Klaus | Circus show: acrobatics | Germany
Kollektiv Klaus is a circus group from Potsdam. With five performers, a trampoline, acrobatics, and a large dose of humour, the result is an energetic circus spectacular.
Król Wrocławia | Illusion | Poland
Can the King of Wrocław become the King of Potsdam? Maciek Kulhawik is a magician for whom the audience, not the magic tricks, is the most important thing.
Kuo Chien-Hung „Moving Zen” | Circus show, cube manipulation, fire show | Taiwan

„Moving Zen” is a performance featuring various types of choreography and highly skilled circus acts, including crystal ball manipulation, eight rings, a cube, and a fire dance.
Mr. Postman | Circus show, acrobatics | Germany
A bicycle, a mission, and a postman mid-air. Mr. Postman tells the story of a postman’s daily life. Defying the passage of time and gravity, Mr. Postman keeps his finger on the pulse. He captivates the audience with bicycle acrobatics, rola bola, handstands, and physical comedy.
Muti Santarosa | Comedy magic | Chile
Muti Santarosa is from Chile. His show features comedic magic routines. He jokes with the audience and engages them in active participation. His goal is for people to laugh at him, at themselves, and with him.
Roc Roc It | Circus show: juggling, freak show | Germany
Roc Roc It calls himself a “neighbourhood freek”. Come and see Kenny, the fire-breathing chicken, as well as many other dangerous and surprising acts in a show for everyone.
Teatr JaSię “Balwierz SPA” | Poland | Clownery with circus tricks
Teatr JaSię from Wrocław invites you to a humour-filled clownery show.
– What’s all the commotion? Where are all these people running? a peasant asked his best mate. – They’re all running after the Barber and his mobile SPA. The Barber arrives wherever humorous renewal is needed and transforms the entire square into his beauty studio of all sorts.

Circus workshop and games
‘PotStreet’ is more than just street performances. The organiser, the German-Polish Association in Brandenburg, also invites everyone to open circus games. Experienced educators will lead free workshops for children, teenagers, and adults. Juggling, movement exercises, and basic acrobatics routines—everyone can try something new. The workshops are free, and no prior registration is required.
Developing a new platform for Polish-German artistic exchange
The goal of the ‘PotStreet’ festival is to create a permanent German-Polish platform for street art in Potsdam. It focuses on artistic exchange, bringing together professionals and newcomers, and direct interaction with the audience. Street art, as an easily accessible, language-independent form of cultural expression, plays a key role in this.
The project is planned to be a long-term initiative. It offers young artists valuable networking opportunities—not only with each other but also with local and international partners.
Accessible cultural event in Potsdam
The festival will be held on the accessible square by the Brandenburg Gate in the city centre, which is well-connected to public transport.
Admission is free. However, in keeping with the tradition of street performances, artists will gladly accept tips in their hats.
Organisers
PotStreet was created in collaboration with the German-Polish Association of Brandenburg, Stowarzyszenie Promocji Artystów Ulicznych Dundun, Małgorzata Węglarz (Busker.pl) and the agency deutschundpolnisch.
PotStreet is funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media based on a resolution of the German Bundestag and with resources from the Ministry of Science, Research and Culture of the State of Brandenburg and the Foundation for German-Polish Cooperation.
