‘Meandering’ (UDO)
When street art takes over new spaces
With ‘Mäandern’, the Upside Down Orchestra (UDO), well known on the international street theatre and street art scene, is venturing into new territory: the development of a full-length stage production.
As part of a residency at the Pepe Dome, the company is devoting itself intensively to the possibilities of stage design and scenic lighting. In doing so, they are exploring theatricality beyond the street and expanding their artistic language – with the aim of bringing their distinctive style to the stage at theatre and contemporary circus festivals in the future.
Be there to witness something completely new emerging from years of experience in street art! Join UDO on this exciting journey of artistic development and experience first-hand how the company is breaking new ground and reinventing itself!

Who's performing
Carmen Lück
Her athletic and artistic career began in 2011 with partner acrobatics. Shortly thereafter, while searching for a suitable solo discipline, she discovered her passion for the Cyr Wheel. She taught herself the skills and worked her way up to the top of the world rankings: Today, she is proud to be the world champion in Cyr Wheel. But her true passion lies not in competition, but on stage. There, she finds the freedom to express herself artistically and take the audience on a unique journey into her world.
Jonas Dürrbeck
His passion for art and movement has been with him since childhood. His artistic work lies at the intersection of music, dance, and acrobatics. In doing so, he combines different disciplines and forms of expression. The connection between dance and acrobatics, in particular, continues to fascinate him even beyond the stage: In 2023, his research project on this topic received funding from the Dachverband Tanz. Whether as a solo artist or in various ensembles, Jonas combines physical strength and movement with versatile artistic expression.
Leonhard Sedlmeier
He studied Catholic church music and music education in Regensburg. His artistic work combines the world of music with acrobatics and dance. As part of the “Morphe” project, he discovered the unique connection between these disciplines and the possibilities for collaboration in which sound, movement, and gesture influence and enrich one another. With the Upside Down Orchestra, he brings these different forms of expression together and operates at the intersection of music and movement.

The Pepe Dome as a centre for scientific research
Can a circus tent change the way we think? In her bachelor’s thesis, Sigrid Grün examines the Pepe Dome in Munich as a transformative space for a design thinking workshop with teachers on the topic of health. The article demonstrates how unfamiliar spaces can facilitate a shift in perspective, creativity and honest reflection – beyond institutional routines.
Training at the Pepe Dome
A regular programme of classes has been running at the Pepe Dome since May. Seven disciplines, six teams of trainers. We asked three people who come here regularly why they do so.
