The artistic positions of Berlin-based artists and groups working in all genres of the performing arts will be presented in collaboration with numerous venues in an event that has made Berlin the hotspot of the independent performing arts for one week every year since 2016. In addition, newcomers to the community have the opportunity to present their work at the performance venues Ballhaus Ost, HAU Hebbel am Ufer, Sophiensæle and Theaterdicounter within the framework of a curated Newcomer’s Platform.
The schedule of programming will be supplemented by ancillary programming as well as special formats and events for German and international professionals.
