KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen 2018

9th edition of the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen
18. – 03.06.2018

The 9th edition of the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen brought numerous international artists to Hannover in its two festival weeks, who were enthusiastically received by the Hannover audience. Highlights such as the Requiem by Hector Berlioz in the Kuppelsaal, the Lecture on Nothing by Robert Wilson, and the world premiere of KreisIncrease by composer Brigitta Muntendorf characterized the 2018 program. The most striking eye-catchers were the light installation Best of All by Tim Etchells on the glass façade of the Arne Jacobsen Foyer and the long-term performance by Vlatka Horvat in the swan ponds of the Herrenhausen Gardens. This year, artistic director Ingo Metzmacher again continued his program of dissolving genre boundaries. With Eszter Salamon's MONUMENT 0.4: LORES & PRAXES and ZVIZDAL by the group BERLIN, two further productions were shown that combine film, dance, exhibition, and theater.

The freitagsküche talk format Tischgespräche enabled visitors to talk to the artists they had previously experienced on stage and to get to know their personal side. This year, for the first time, the KunstFestSpiele Campus was held with the support of the Lower Saxony Foundation, offering students of music, theater and art the opportunity to exchange ideas with artists in workshops and to discuss the performances among themselves.
