What does fear do to you? Anxiety is an intense feeling that we all know. It can warn us, shake us awake or even paralyse us. The Pavilion of Fear, which is travelling through Chemnitz in the run-up to the exhibition Edvard Munch. Angst, which is travelling through Chemnitz in the run-up to the exhibition, will create a special place of encounter. All those who are curious are cordially invited to discover new perspectives and enter into dialogue with other people about this strong feeling.

A diverse programme will be offered with various participants from the fields of culture, music, art, sport and theatre. From making music together and creative writing to exercise programmes - there is something for everyone!
