Thematic Parcours: Focus Catalonia

What are you in the mood for? To help you navigate the festival's many performances and events, we suggest thematic itineraries. These run like different paths through the entire program and help you set your own focus when visiting the festival. Or you can just go with the flow. Either way: See you soon in the city, in the circus tent or at the outdoor stages on the festival grounds by the Rhine!

This year's festival edition is characterized by a close collaboration with artists from Catalonia, as part of Meridian(s) Catalonia-Germany. On Sunday, the 360° stage will be dedicated to four artists from Catalonia, selected by a four-member jury together with Catalan guest curator Zed Zanzu. Diana Gadish brings the clever and warm interactive performance ‘Handle with Care’ to the festival grounds using simple means. In the Come Closer Lab, five Catalan artists meet five Cologne students and together develop new movement patterns at the intersection of juggling, object manipulation and dance. And last but not least: On the opening night, Gina La Churry's grandiose feminist spectacle awaits us.
