(Un)Learning for possible Futures – There can be no return to normal because normal was the problem in the first place

Under the motto (Un)Learning for possible Futures – There can be no return to normal because normal was the problem in the first place we want to deal with the challenges of the present and the future on an artistic and discursive level.

The focus is on a common, continuous process of learning and growing together between genders, generations, classes and borders. For this we are looking for productions from NRW of all genres for the stage, the public and the digital space – whether performance, dance, installation, audio walk, lecture, workshop, action, online format* or other.

We will be on the road for the FAVORITEN Festival 22 until May next year in NRW to see your work.
We are looking forward to receiving your event information and invitations at info@favoriten-festival.de:

We are looking forward to receiving your event information and invitations at info@favoriten-festival.de :

• information about the production and the participating artists, incl. place of work/life
• all performance dates / locations and duration of the work
• Website
• contact address for tickets
• if applicable, recording / material on the current work and on older works (optional)

For better planning, please send your invitations one month in advance. We try to attend as many events as possible. If this should not be possible, we are happy to receive a recording of the work. Please limit yourself to a maximum of two to three works as a recording per artistic constellation.

*Since the festival will be analog and digital, we want to offer a platform not only for the works on stage, but also for the online formats that have emerged in recent years. Should these no longer have any performance dates by May 2022, there is the possibility of submitting these as well with detailed documentation by e-mail.
