¡Adelante!

In the page's words:

¡Adelante! - Theater und Orchester Heidelberg presents the third edition of this festival, which is unique in Germany. Since the first edition of the festival, the theater has not only established itself as an important European partner for Ibero-American artists, but is still the only German municipal theater to engage so continuously with the theatrical landscapes in Ibero-America. For eight days, twelve theater productions from ten Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries in Latin America and Europe will thrill audiences in Heidelberg. The artists tell their stories with emotional force and the means of theater, dance and performance. "To be or not to be" - Chela de Ferrari, for example, poses this already programmatic question of the festival program with a version of Hamlet in which only people with trisomy 21 talk about their personal wishes and challenges. Since 2017, the Stadttheater has been opening an international window onto an exciting independent theater scene with ¡Adelante! It gives artists from Ibero-America a voice and thus enables us to experience an inspiring cultural and artistic change of perspective. I would like to thank the numerous sponsors, the supporters of this festival and the entire festival team. I wish the festival an enthusiastic and interested audience, an intensive exchange and many good encounters. Petra Olschowski MdL Minister of Science, Research and the Arts Baden-Württemberg
