‘Der Geheime Salon’ (The Secret Salon) has been presenting music from the margins that combines electronic experiments with club culture since October 2017. Once a month it provides a space for auditory happenings and social interactions.
The acoustic framework for these is created by one international live act and one DJ. Throughout the 2022/23 season, Der Geheime Salon has organized a series of concerts and residencies under the banner ‘Sonic Sanctuaries’ focusing on artists who have been affected by displacement, exile, and forced migration.

For its Theater der Welt 2023 edition, the salon will move to a special location: the down-to-earth Gaststätte Zur Insel in Frankfurt’s Osthafen.
Here Ukrainian DJ Artem Ikra, now living in exile in Berlin, and Hamburg-based sonic artist Pose Dia will spend the evening filling the bar’s biergarten with unusual frequencies.
