Performing Democracy

06. – 13. May 2026

E-WERK Freiburg, THEATER FREIBURG, and THEATER IM MARIENBAD invite you to five outstanding international guest performances in the fields of dance, theater, and performance, a mobilizing in-house production, and a wide-ranging supporting program. We showcase daring and vulnerability, hope and poetry, humanity and the power of encounter.

Our goal: vital intervention, speaking out about the status quo while simultaneously designing visionary counterworlds. With art and with you!
