A glimpse of the festival programme

The time has come: the programme for the 2026 FAVORITEN Festival has been finalised.

Over 300 productions from across North Rhine-Westphalia applied for this year’s edition. From this impressive array, thirteen works have been selected; with their diverse artistic styles, perspectives and themes, they invite the audience to take a fresh look at the present and engage in dialogue with one another.

You can find out which thirteen selected productions will be presented in Dortmund this year from 1 to 11 October in the programme from A to Z.
