The Vertical Dance Hub Basel /CH is the first Hub in Switzerland dedicated to research, artistic residencies and workshops in Vertical Dance. It is also the highest in Europe, with its 34m high wall, wich is since June 2022 magnified by a monumental work of the Basel artist Adrian Falkner, forming a unique stage of 500m2. A second 15m high wall is also equipped.
