Intoxication through the centuries - sensory frenzy and collecting fever
Leadership
A foray through the centuries on the traces of intoxication and ecstasy in Basel. By what means could the people of Basel indulge and confuse their senses with impunity? When did they go into a frenzy and rapture, individually or collectively, on the streets, in the churches and within their own four walls? The rich treasures of the Barfüsserkirche are shown from surprisingly new perspectives.
