Other Spaces - Back to the Future!

The publication Other Spaces portrays 33 Berlin venues of the independent performing arts community. It tries to map the diversity and difference of these venues and at the same time gives them a center stage themselves! To celebrate this in a fitting way, we warmly invite you to join us on the occasion of this year's publication by Verlag Theater der Zeit:

Audio Tour of the Performance Venues

Last year, Berlin's independent venues and theaters have been closed almost continuously. The Audio Tour of the Performance Venues gives an insight into what it feels like to work behind closed doors.

The individual contributions that make up the tour can be listened to directly on location at the performance venues, while walking between venues or at home.

Open air events are possible again!

Everything stays in motion: Shortly before the start of the festival week, the positive news about the restarting of open air events reached us and everyone involved in the festival. We are happy that some artists and venues were able to spontaneously react to this and thereby made it possible to show 15 productions in the open air.
