FESTIVAL: LEIPZIG DENKT: MUT & UNMUT

To this end, it mixes elements, impulses and discussion dramaturgies from theater and the arts with those from philosophy and the humanities and social sciences. In addition to the LOFFT, the festival takes place at many other cultural and knowledge venues in Leipzig, including the Ostpassage Theater, Moritzbastei, University Library, Literaturhaus, Budde-Haus, Südbrause and Kurt-Masur-Platz.
