A new edition of “BURNING ISSUES x Theatertreffen” is in planning under the title “PERFORMING ARTS &amp; SOLIDARITY”, in co-operation with Szenografie-Bund as well as with Deutsches Theater Berlin and Sophiensaele. The Theatertreffen-programme, which will feature a range of discursive formats and keynotes, is being developed by Nora Hertlein-Hull together with dramaturgs Aljoscha Begrich and Sima Djabar Zadegan with reference to the ten selected productions.&nbsp; Nele Hertling will receive the Theatre Prize Berlin of Stiftung Preu&szlig;ische Seehandlung for her services to the theatre. As Theatertreffen’s long-standing media partner, 3sat will present especially produced TV-recordings of productions invited to the festival in its programme. This year’s “Starke St&uuml;cke” are: “Bucket List” (Schaub&uuml;hne am Lehniner Platz), “Laios. ANTHROPOLIS II” (Deutsches SchauSpielHaus Hamburg) and “Macbeth” (Schauspielhaus Bochum).&nbsp; The programme schedule of the 2024 Theatertreffen will be published on 5&nbsp;April; ticket sales begin on 19&nbsp;April.&nbsp;

Preparations Are Underway for the 2024 Edition of the Festival

The Theatertreffen invites 30 exciting artists from all parts of the world to attend and reflect the festival and to exchange ideas and experiences across artistic and national boundaries. We are very much looking forward to welcoming all participants and thank everyone for their applications! More than 700 artists from 75 countries responded to the Open Call published in the autumn of 2023.

“Reviews are the worst thing about this job,” comments director Jette Steckel, who was invited to the 2023 Theatertreffen with “Die Vaterlosen”, in a guest article written for the Theatertreffen-Blog. Here young art journalists took a critical look at the 10 productions and themes all around the Theatertreffen. Reviews, essays and interviews were published continuously throughout the festival. You can read, for example, about “Lord of the Rings” fan Leonard Haverkamp’s experience of the accessible installation “Riesenhaft in Mittelerde”™ or Marta Ivkić’s review of “Bucket List”. And you can also learn more about the creative interactions of the 29 participants in the International Forum in Elliot Douglas’s article “The power of collaborative theatre”.

By René Pollesch

René Pollesch provided unforgettable moments at the Theatertreffen in 2002 with the invitation to his “Prater-Trilogie” parts 1 to 3 and in 2012 with “Kill your Darlings! Streets of Berladelphia” for unforgettable moments at the Theatertreffen. The 3sat recording of “Kill your Darlings! Streets of Berladelphia” in the framework of 3sat’s “Starke St&uuml;cke” is available in our media library until 27 May 2024.

Kill your Darlings! Streets of Berladelphia

From a moving musical requiem and contemporary theatre in part against a fairy tale backdrop to memorable interpretations of classical works – the works selected for this year’s edition of the Theatertreffen reflect the diversity and strength of theatre in a present shaken by war. In his essay, jury member Janis El-Bira sheds some light on, amongst other topics, how the current selection juggles worldliness and challenges the limits of the Enlightenment. In different worlds full of scepticism, mourning and surprising humour, theatre charts its true course.

In Now-Time Mode.&nbsp;Worldliness and the present in this year’s Theatertreffen selection

Current geo- and socio-political developments often leave us speechless and confused. In these times of wars, crises and growing divisions in society, we need a place where we can address and discuss critical issues and achieve some kind of understanding. The Theatertreffen offers us such a place.&nbsp;This festival provides a unique opportunity to experience the full range of outstanding theatre art performed on German-language stages from north to south and from east to west.&nbsp;

Claudia Roth, Minister of State for Culture and the Media

“Why do we do this? We cut the answer to this question”, says Fabian Hinrichs in “Kill your Darlings! Streets of Berladelphia”, the production which received René Pollesch’s second invitation to Berlin’s Theatertreffen in 2012. These words became a witticism. While in the context of the play, the exclamation mainly related to capitalism’s self-referential production logics, Pollesch and Hinrichs always also meant the absurd beauty and the potentially cruel self-deception of the theatre’s situation. Berlin’s Theatertreffen celebrates and reflects this beauty in all of its ambivalence.&nbsp;

Katarzyna Wielga-Skolimowska and Kirsten Ha&szlig;, German Federal Cultural Foundation

Finally, there will be a glance behind the scenes: How did the final selection of ten remarkable productions come about? What is it like to view 690 productions? The Theatertreffen-jury will discuss precisely these questions at Haus der Berliner Festspiele on 20 May at 14:00. The talk will be streamed live in our media library and on nachtkritik.de.
