Bright Celebration

Bright Opening

Here we go! We celebrate the start of the festival at JES and get a taste of what awaits us this week. The curatorial team introduces the international guest performances. The festival philosophers will engage cultural politicians and the festival direction in a discussion. The ten international NEW GENERATION scholarship holders meet for the first time.

There will be music and a toast to a brilliant festival programme with a week full of theatre, encounters and exchange!

For the Bright Opening there is a tactile tour, German sign language interpretation and whispered translation.

Sat June 8th, 4 pm, JES Saal

BRIGHT OPENING CONCERT with Alexia & Band

To celebrate the first day of the festival in style, we get ourselves going again and dance to the music of Alexia & Band, chatting with old friends and new faces.

We will dance, sing, experience and rejoice – We will rejoice loudly and long that we have all come together (again).

Sat June 8th, 9:30 pm, JES Foyer

SHINE BRIGHT FESTIVALPARTY

We let it shine really brightly again one last time before we have to say goodbye to the festival. We shine into the night and dance until it’s light outside. We light up the lower foyer with sparkling outfits and shining eyes.

Shimmering away in small conversations or shining like a diamond on the dance floor, everything is still possible on this evening! We reflect on encounters, experiences and what we have seen, say goodbye and start looking forward to the next edition.

Fri June 14th, 9:30 pm, JES Foyer
