Together we will go on a topoetic walk along the former Judenweg. Victor Saudan reads his poems and is accompanied by the composer and musician Philippe Koerper.

Until the middle of the 19th century, Jews were not allowed to live in Basel. Many of them were forced to commute the long way from Hegenheim to the city via the 'Judengasse' on the Rosenberg in Allschwil.
Victor Saudan spent a few days on this route a few years ago and wrote poems on the spot. His works are inspired by his perception of the landscape and its history. In his experimental writing, he combines topos and poetry, thereby creating topoetry.
As part of the Basel History Days, Victor Sudan will read these poems on a topoetic walk along the former Judenweg. He will be accompanied by the composer and musician Philippe Koerper.

The walk takes about 90 minutes. If you would like to return to Allschwil, you will need to allow another 30 minutes for the return journey.
