Fast Forward 2024

Fast Forward is a concentrated, intense festival that presents eight productions usually from all over Europe in four days. To help you keep an overview and find out quickly what you can see on which days and in which order, we make suggestions for your routes through the festival in the Festival Circuit. The easiest way to reach performances in a Festival Circuit is by public transport, which you can use with your VVO ticket on your admission ticket. Our staff at the venues will be happy to help you at any time. All further information you need for your visit to Fast Forward 2024 can be found on this page.

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 and bus lines. The stamp on your theatre ticket means it is also valid as a transport ticket (see p. 44). 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 get a detailed map from the box offices and on our websites. This year there are two productions (DECAZEVILLE, MANIFESTOS) that can only be attended by small audiences at the time, but therefore have many performance dates. Accordingly, there are many opportunities to combine performances with one another. You can find this information as well as a detailed transport plan for all the circuits here as a PDF to download and print and at the box offices of the Staatsschauspiels Dresden.

For all shows: your theatre ticket has a stamp that makes it your transport ticket as well on the whole VVO transport area. You can use this service in the four hours before and eight hours after the show. Theatre tickets bought online are of course also combination tickets for entry into the theatre and travel on public transport. The only exceptions are free tickets and special reduced- price tickets. Please check for the stamp on your ticket.

ACCESSIBILITY

Please note that the production MANIFESTOS FOR AFTER THE END OF THE WORLD is not wheelchair accessible. The Labortheater does not have an accessible toilet. All the other venues are wheelchair accessible and have an accessible toilet. The performance of UNE TENTATIVE PREQUE COMME UNE AUTRE in HELLERAU will take place with audio description. There will be no performances with sign language interpreting. You can find more detailed information about the accessibility of the venues on their websites. Please contact us for any specific access requirements or questions you may have so that we can make your visit as comfortable as possible. Please let us know if you are coming with a wheelchair or support dog when you book your tickets. For those with a hearing impairment, we provide receiver sets in the Kleines Haus. If required, audience members can ask for receiver sets right before the performance from the admissions staff in the coat-check foyer. We want lots of people to come to our festival. We therefore want to avoid any barriers and remove them. If you have ideas or questions, write us an email or call us:
janny.fuchs@staatsschauspiel-dresden.de / phone: +49 351 – 49 13 – 742.

TRANSLATION
Each performance is shown with German and English surtitles if not indicated otherwise. Please see the performance pages for more details. Most events in the supporting programme also take place with live translations into German and/or English. For more information, please see the supporting programme section.

As theatre-makers, we seek out and want a constant dialogue with you, the audience. Each of you brings individual experiences with you to a theatre performance or concert and you experience what happens on stage differently. With the awareness that some of the content of the plays could trigger or evoke feelings that are overwhelming or hurtful, on this page we offer additional information for you about content we consider sensitive or potential triggers. Triggers are specific stimuli (sounds, smells, images, etc.), which could trigger feelings associated with a past trauma in people who have gone through traumatic experiences (e.g. flashbacks). You are also welcome to get in touch with the dramaturg of the production in question if you have any further questions.

List of triggers we will issue a warning for:

- Physical, psychological or sexual violence
- Child abuse
- Self-harm
- Serious illness (physical and mental)
- War
- Suicide
- Eating disorders and addiction (alcohol, drugs, compulsive behaviour, etc.)
- Racism, sexism, homo-/inter-/transphobia, ableism, age discrimination, other forms of discrimination
- Bullying
- Bodyshaming
- Cruelty to animals
- Misophonia

Trigger warnings are sometimes criticised for giving away an aspect of the play in advance. In this regard, we firmly believe in our audience’s ability to choose and judge for themselves. That’s why we’re leaving it up to you whether you read and consider the following additional information or not.
