From June 18 to July 5, 2026, Chemnitz will be in the international spotlight: Germany’s largest international theater festival, “Theater der Welt,” is coming to Chemnitz—immediately following the city’s year as European Capital of Culture in 2025. For three weeks, Chemnitz will become a gathering place for artists, audiences, and theater enthusiasts from all over the world. On stages, in public spaces, and at extraordinary venues, a vibrant celebration of the performing arts will unfold, transcending borders and bringing together stories from all corners of the globe.
Nine international curators from Australia, Canada, Colombia, Argentina, South Africa, Greece, Jordan, India, Senegal, and China will shape the festival program. In November, they will meet in Chemnitz to select around 40 outstanding productions—works they have previously scouted in their regions. The result will be an inspiring panorama of contemporary theater forms, languages, and perspectives.
