19. 22. July Internationales Festival for young Theater Furore Festival 2018 Call for applications 1 / 3
FURORE 2018 Welcome to FURORE! This summer, the Academy of Performing Arts Baden-Württemberg (ADK) holds its second international theatre festival, Furore. For three long summer days and nights, Ludwigsburg will be the pulsing heart of tomorrow s theatre world. 2018 marks both the 300th anniversary of the town of Ludwigsburg, and the 10th anniversary of the Academy of Performing Arts. On the occasion of this double celebration, we invite young artists and collectives from Baden-Württemberg, Europe and further afield to Ludwigsburg. Between 19-22 July, Furore will bring together local and international emerging artists, and offer insight into new work and thinking around performing arts. For Furore, performing arts may include spoken and music theatre, dance and performance art, but also projects that stretch out to film, animation and fine arts. The Academy s close ties to the Film Academy Ludwigsburg and the Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart enables a wide range of interdisciplinary projects. To complement the main programme of performances, Furore will also include a range of lectures, talks, parties and concerts. In an increasingly unstable world, where new borders are drawn, defined and defended everywhere we look, Furore is looking instead for the vague, the elusive, the fluid. Searching for something to hold onto, performing arts can at present only be complex and controversial. We do not believe in straight answers. We do not want to resolve contradictions. We cannot pretend to not be liminal. We will colour in the gaps between us with felt-tips. We will encounter another, eachother. We will throw a party for all the differences. Long live disagreement! Long live polyphony! We are no we. We don t belong to this. That is why we re exactly right here. Apply now! Do you make challenging, unusual work that you want to present it to a curious, international audience? Are you interested in meeting other emerging artists to discuss and party with? Apply now to join us at Furore 2018! Furore Festival 2018 Call for applications 1 / 3
