Stilt dance art

anything but ordinary

High Light
Stilt walkers and fire show

Walk into a world full of animal creatures, fantastic creatures and strange characters!

Beautiful light animations run through huge bodies, which meander through the crowd as a walking act.

With over 60 figures, the HOCHKANT stilt walkers travel the world. 

The unique selling point is the stilt costumes, whose light play can be precisely pre-programmed.

About Us

The name HOCHKANT implies the passion for kidnapping people from their everyday lives, forgetting them and taking them into a world full of fantasy.

The artists want to inspire, seduce and also make you laugh.

The group enjoys traveling nationally and internationally with their fantasy characters and shows.

HOCHKANT is led by co-founder Nina Scholz. She is a stilt walker, percussionist/musician, fire and light artist, (costume) designer and also a drum and percussion teacher and graphic designer and actually has a degree in cultural studies.

Events

Note for organizers: Don't let a busy appointment put you off contacting us. HOCHKANT has many stilt walkers and can perform with several teams at the same time.

We are not only around Hildesheim, Hanover, Braunschweig, (Wolfsburg, Celle, Göttingen,...) in the heart of Lower Saxony. We can be booked throughout Germany. And also abroad.
