KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen 2011

Entfesselte Welten (Unleashed Worlds)

2nd edition of the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen
27.05. - 19.06.2011

"Entfesselte Welten" (Unleashed Worlds) was the motto of the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen, which took place for the second time in Hanover's baroque gardens in the summer of 2011. After the successful start in 2010, artistic director Elisabeth Schweeger presented a diverse and interdisciplinary program with 26 events in 24 days, which crossed traditional boundaries and pursued the dialogue of disciplines. Numerous artists and projects crossed the usual genre boundaries between opera, concert and visual arts and provided original perspectives on an extraordinary venue. A colorful mix of artists of national as well as international importance, such as actor Klaus Maria Brandauer, the Venice Baroque Orchestra or the œsterreichisches ensemble fuer neue musik were invited for the diverse program. With its own production Semele Walk by Ludgar Engels, the KunstFestSpiele produced a musical theater that celebrated international success in the Netherlands, Australia and London with Couture by Vivienne Westwood.
