The Feierôwend! evening celebrates the dances of the Grenz working-class district. Luciano Pagliarini and his orchestra get the ball rolling with some Danzmusek, followed by a retroplatinodisco into the night by the Loon Djs. As befits an evening with such a name, iron and fire actions are also on the programme. A refreshment bar and chip shop will provide essential fuel for the dancing.
Conceived with Laura Steil, a researcher in contemporary history at the University of Luxembourg (C2DH), Feierôwend! takes you back to the festive atmosphere that has made the ‘iron metropolis’ famous beyond its role in industry. Feierôwend! offers a chance to (re)experience something of working-class history at the very heart of the factory, shifting and reinventing our relationship with the industrial past.
For its second edition, Feierôwend! is collaborating with the University of Luxembourg and is closing the 7th World Conference of the International Federation for Public History.
