Pool People at Michaelibad: Art, Water, and Summer Vibe in Munich

With Pool People, Michaelibad transforms into a special place for performance, sound art, and shared experiences in August 2026. The three-part project by Christiane Huber focuses on the outdoor swimming pool as a social meeting point, a stage for public mood, and a space for encounters.

An Outdoor Pool Becomes a Stage

Between the sunbathing area, diving tower, and large pool, an event experience emerges that goes far beyond classical cultural formats. The performance brings together youth, performers, and the atmosphere of the swimming pool in a lively dialogue. Thus, a perspective emerges on Michaelibad as a place where summer, movement, and communal observation blend together.

Underwater Sound and Artistic Research

A central part of the project is the immersive underwater sound installation. From interviews, historical research, and conversations with swimmers, Christiane Huber, together with participants, develops an acoustic world that makes the outdoor pool audible. The result connects art, memory, and present to an unusual form of event planning in public space.

Finale with Pool Party and Community Feeling

For the conclusion, Pool People invites you to the pool party. With beats, swimming fun, and a new sculpture in the pool area, the project culminates in a finale that emphasizes openness and communal use. Especially in Michaelibad, one of Munich's most famous summer locations, this format meets an audience eager for culture, summer, and a special event atmosphere.

Those who want to experience Munich in August 2026 from its most unusual side will find here a multifaceted recreational event with artistic ambition, strong target group appeal, and true summer character. Pool People is particularly worth experiencing live on-site for anyone wanting to rediscover art in public space and the special feeling of an outdoor pool.
