In Now-Time Mode. Worldliness and the present in this year’s Theatertreffen selection
The jury went to great lengths for this 2024 Theatertreffen: They viewed the tremendous number of 690 productions before the ten remarkable productions emerged after an eight-hour consultation in late January. For my first edition as director of Theatertreffen, it is hard to imagine a better selection. It shows the extensive range of German-language theatre – from Hamburg to Zurich, from Bochum to Jena, from literary classics to genre-defying formats; as strong aesthetic positings, as works of polished language art, superb performances by individual artists or captivating ensemble work.

Every year, a jury of critics selects 10 remarkable productions from up to 600 productions from the German-language region to be presented in Berlin in May. The 2024 festival edition will feature discussions on aesthetic, social and culture-political issues with and in front of the audience.
