This year the festival of contemporary European theatre devotes thematically to the sound of music as well as to the tones within social and interpersonal structures. The guest appearances will demonstrate the strong, individual scripting of major directors and choreographers from all over Europe. In addition, companies that are still unknown will also be introduced. The focus will be again on discoveries from Eastern Europe. After five years of Carte blanche – the selection of a guest performance – which was performed respectively by a member of the artistic advisory council, this »White card« is now being passed on to an artist for the next stage. The renowned French choreographer Josef Nadj, head of the Centre chorégraphique national d'Orléans, will be launching this program this year with one of his own productions as well as a guest performance by the next generation of artists. |
