Content
In addition to the festival productions, the supporting programme includes all the options there are to help you learn more about the plays, the directors and their work, to get talking to each other or simply to celebrate. Apart from the festival opening on the 13th of November at 18.30 and the award ceremony on the 16th of November at 22.30 in the Kleines Haus of the Staatsschauspiel Dresden, there will also be short introductions before the shows, the festival bar and parties in the festival centre and a karaoke walk to join in. HELLERAU – European Centre for the Arts will present the work of an international producing theatre, while THEATRE UNDER PRESSURE will highlight the increasingly difficult situation of theatre professionals in Europe. Also, in collaboration with the European Theatre Convention ETC, the Fast Forward Festival Forum will take place once again.
SHORT INTRODUCTIONS (IN GERMAN ONLY)
The introductions will be provided in German only and take place in the foyers approx. 10 minutes before the performance. Please ask our admission staff where the introduction will take place.
SURTITLES & LIVE INTERPRETING
in German and English or as indicated in the programme. The festival opening and closing will be simultaneously interpreted into German and English.
THE FESTIVAL CIRCUITS
The festival is planned in such a way that you can see several productions one after the other on one day – this means there are several circuits you can take. To follow our plan, we recommend that you travel between the venues using the Dresden Public Transport (DVB) tram lines, as we have planned the routes between the performances using the DVB tram lines. It is also possible to walk from one venue to the other and this is also marked on the circuit plan. In order to stick to the circuit, you usually need to get going right after the end of the show. There will be circuit scouts at every venue to bring you to the right stop or to walk with you to the next venue. You can find this information as well as a detailed transport plan for all the circuits HERE as a PDF to download and print as well as already printed at the box offices of the Staatsschauspiel Dresden.
