Theater in Bewegung - Das Tanzfestival am Theaterhaus Jena

Times of crisis and uncertainty are times of polarization.

Spaces where open negotiations and honest debates are possible are becoming rare, while the need for them is greater than ever.
In a world that separates more often than it connects, dance offers a universal language through which we feel closeness, encounter one another, and inspire collective action.
Under the motto “Bodies – From Conflict to Pleasure – In Search of Common Ground”, we invite you from November 1 to 8 to join us and our guest artists in exploring shared spaces where bodily worlds, stories, and perspectives can meet and exchange.
Shared space creates safety, trust, and a sense of meaning that goes beyond screens and isolation.

The festival “Theater in Bewegung” demonstrates how body language and movement can build bridges, sharpen listening, and make genuine encounters possible.

Nine performances open the body as a space of communication – we warmly invite you and look forward to meeting you.
