The Lausitz Festival will once again turn the region into a stage for artists from all over the world. From August 24 to September 14, the audience can expect a diverse program of dance, theater, concerts and staged readings. The organizers are expecting 10,000 guests over the entire period, according to a spokesperson.
There are 23 venues in 13 unusual locations - from old industrial halls and churches to a disused mine. This year, the festival has 40 percent less program budget available, which is part of the medium-term financial planning. "This has an impact on the total number of events, which this year is around half that of last year," said the spokeswoman.
More than 2,000 tickets have already been sold, and 15 of the 34 dates are currently sold out, said the spokeswoman. Prices have risen by around ten percent compared to the previous year. "At the same time, the ticket prices are designed so that as many people as possible have the opportunity to take part," she said.
