botanika 2018
8 September 2018 @ 8:00 am – 9 September 2018 @ 5:00 pm
We rarely head to the north of Germany, simply because fewer events take place there. All the more we were happy about the invitation to the first "botanika goes space" event at botanika Bremen.
With the help of several other fan groups, exhibitors and sales booths from various film universes – whether fantasy, sci-fi or comics – a new and unique event took shape, which stood out above all thanks to the great location.
Cosplayers rarely get the chance to take great photos in a greenhouse partly modeled on the Himalayas, surrounded by rhododendrons and azaleas.
In the Japanese Garden, watched over by a large Buddha statue, we were able to give a basic course in lightsaber combat several times a day and perform some of our choreographies.
Star guests were there too, including, at his first convention ever, Florian Clyde, the German voice of young Han Solo, Hans-Georg Panczak (Luke Skywalker's German voice) and Reiner Schöne, the current German voice of Darth Vader.
The event is surely a good insider tip for the coming years; the Technik Museum Speyer, among others, has shown that something can start small and grow big.
