More than 200 performances over three days: the 29th International Street Theatre Festival "ViaThea" in Görlitz offers a dense cross-border program from Thursday. Around 25 groups, ensembles and individual actors from twelve countries will bring around 30 performance venues to life until Saturday, including three in the neighbouring Polish town of Zgorzelec, as announced by the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Theater as the organizer.
This year, for example, there will be a sewing machine performance entitled "Margaretes Schneiderei". Visitors are expressly invited to hand in used items of clothing to be given away, embellished and recycled.
According to Hoffmann, the festival, which is recognized throughout Europe, is well known in the scene. Every year, "many, many applications" are received from artists and groups from Germany and abroad who want to perform in Görlitz.
