The festival combines classical dance theater with innovative forms - from interdisciplinary performances and cross-disciplinary projects to intimate solos and large ensemble productions. In addition to spectacular performances on the main stages, a varied supporting program with workshops, talks and encounters invites you to experience dance not only as an art form, but also as a social and political force of expression.
