A dark, damp forest permeated by water. Sounds from the deep, in the distance, from human bodies. In Nigamon/Tunai, visitors do not just watch the show, they step into it. The audience sits in the middle of a jungle landscape with water, plants, shadows, and sounds, surrounded by breath, singing, and vibrating bodies. Sight lines do not provide orientation, only vibes can be perceived.
From 18 June to 5 July 2026, Chemnitz will be in the international spotlight: Germany's largest international theatre festival "Theatre of the World" is coming to Chemnitz - directly following the Capital of Culture year 2025. For three weeks, Chemnitz will be a meeting place for artists, spectators and theatre enthusiasts from all over the world. A lively celebration of the performing arts will take place on stages, in urban spaces and in unusual locations, overcoming borders and bringing together stories from all parts of the world.
Nine international curators from Australia, Canada, Colombia, Argentina, South Africa, Greece, Jordan, India, Senegal and China are responsible for the festival programme. They will meet in Chemnitz in November to select around 40 outstanding productions - works that they have previously viewed in their regions. The result is an inspiring panorama of current theatre forms, languages and perspectives.
