From a choral musical with 1,500 singers to art events during Passiontide, from a literature festival to writing and dance workshops: In March, Chemnitz and the surrounding area will spread out further program items for the Capital of Culture year.
The "Leselust Goes Europe" series will be launched on March 7. It presents literature, music and film from Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Ukraine. There will be double readings by authors from these countries such as Jurij Andruchowytsch, Sabine Rennefanz, Lenka Elbe and Svetlana Lavochkina.
The interventions on the Passion, which started in 2023 as altar wrappings, will also be continued. Contemporary art will be shown in churches. According to the organizers, there are nine projects this year - not only in Chemnitz, but also in the surrounding areas such as Zwickau, Freiberg and Marienberg. A replica of the famous Zittau Lenten cloth will also be on display in Chemnitz' St. Joseph's Church.
