2nd International Korean-German Dance Festival - 18-19 July / Festival of Choreographers

The festival serves as a platform for artistic and cultural exchange between Korean and German dance. It creates an open space where artists, audiences, and different dance traditions can come together.

At a time when art forms, genres, and cultures are increasingly intertwined, the festival brings together traditional and contemporary dance forms alongside diverse modes of physical expression. The focus is not only on individual performances but also on a living dialogue in which Korean and German dance mutually inspire and enrich each other.

The project aims to build bridges, open new perspectives, and make dance tangible as a language connecting people, cultures, and generations.

Programme:

17 July / K-Pop Dance Festival
