Countless streamers flap in the summer breeze, beverages are cooled, sounds swell from the stage sometimes loud, sometimes hushed. The Theaterformen Festival Centre has returned, and with it a horde of great bands. The free evening concerts in the courtyard are a long-standing tradition.

In addition, this year's programme offers plenty to talk about: we invite you to participate in discussions and conversations in the Cumberlandsche Galerie at the weekends. This year's festival themes focus on the Kinshasa Connection, the German and Russian approach to their own history within the context of the Russian Lear production and the question: the dramaturg, the lawyer of the text?

We invite you to join us at the large breakfast table on both Saturdays at noon. The Festival Breakfast is a meeting point for Theaterformen performers, spectators and the people behind the scenes. There you will meet the festival grant-holders; this year these young theatre makers from all over the world have participated in a further non-academic training at our partner festival Connexion Kinshasa in Kinshasa, before coming to Hanover.

It goes without saying that you can refresh yourselves with food and drink between discussions, performances and concerts in the most attractive outdoor venue in town. Beginning at noon, Weinhaus Feiter will be serving exquisite dishes at affordable prices at the Festival Centre.
