Old friends, new friends | 30 years of schrit_tmacher just dance!
The 30th schrit_tmacher Festival presents a wide selection of companies from Canada, Great Britain, France, Taiwan, the Czech Republic, Brazil, Japan, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. In addition to new discoveries, there are also some crowd pleasers; our 'old friends'. In recent years, our programme has also been expanded by entering into collaborations with 'new friends'. You can see the results in projects with the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln | Aachen, the Stürtz cinema family, the Bischöfliche Akademie, Cinedans, Kool Cult and the SCENAR!O Festival. In new multidisciplinary 'festival specials' and in exciting cross-border community projects, such as with Jordy Dik. And there are more new friends, because in 2025 we will add new stages to our festival with Theater Aachen and the Toon Hermans Theater in Sittard.
In Heerlen we celebrate the festival opening in co-production with NDT 1 with new work by Crystal Pite and Simon McBurney. In Aachen the festival starts with the German premiere of 'BACH Reimagined' by James Wilton Dance in Theater Aachen. In addition, the world premiere of a co-production with Fabien Prioville Dance Company staged especially for Fabrik Stahlbau Strang will be performed in Aachen. And in Eupen we celebrate the 30th edition with a 'Triptychon'. After that you can enjoy highlights and innovative productions from all over the world, an extensive program for young people, workshops, dance films, exhibitions and more in the Euregio for four weeks.
schrit_tmacher is constantly developing. We look to the future with confidence!
