PERFORMING DEMOCRACY

In the organizer's words:

Performing Democracy
11 days of dance, theater, performance & music

Our festival has a new name: PERFORMING DEMOCRACY!
In the last edition of the festival, it was still a subtitle, now it gives the festival its name and determines its program. The threat to democracies and the rise of autocrats has taken on alarming proportions, and anti-democratic parties are becoming increasingly popular. But how can we counter these processes?

Together with the audience and the artists of the festival, we would like to discuss current issues of democratic coexistence, new narratives, our relationship to nature, climate, war and displacement in a fun and artistic way. A wide variety of formal languages will be used: from powerful choral singing to expressive physicality, from playful animated film to stunning drama.

Look forward to exciting international guest performances from the border areas between dance, performance, drama, installation and media art - by and with artists from Brazil, Belgium, Ukraine, England, Slovenia, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Poland and Belarus.

PERFORMING DEMOCRACY is a co-production of the three theaters: Theater im Marienbad, Theater Freiburg and E-WERK Freiburg.

The Performing Democracy Festival is funded by the City of Freiburg and the City of Freiburg's Future Fund for Climate Protection. It is also supported by Sparkasse Freiburg-Nördlicher Breisgau, the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage and Pro Helvetia, Swiss Arts Council.
