Gala event

Speeches, champagne and plenty of small talk…
What more could you ask for at a great opening?

Together, we’ll take a look at the festival programme and seize the moment to celebrate the entire independent arts scene through theatre, dance and performance. The programme selection reflects the diversity of the independent performing arts – created in towns and local communities, in the countryside as well as in major cities. The commitment of artists can be seen everywhere and experienced every day: they create art and spaces for freedom, inspire creative expression and move their audiences.

We look forward to raising a glass with everyone to the 2026 edition of the festival.
A warm welcome to our gala reception!

This will be followed by a performance of The Death At The Code! by Brig Huezo.
