34th International Festival Berlin
5.–27.8.2022
For the first time since 2019, the international festival Tanz im August, presented by HAU Hebbel am Ufer, again showed a complete three-week program with international and local choreographers of different generations. From August 5 to 27, 2022, HAU Hebbel am Ufer and 6 other venues in Berlin hosted 87 performances, with around 200 artists from more than 25 countries, and a total of 21 productions.
The 34th festival edition, the last under the artistic direction of Virve Sutinen, focused on the influential Swedish-Italian choreographer Cristina Caprioli. Under the title ONCE OVER TIME, Tanz im August dedicated a huge retrospective to her - with over 22 works from the past 20 years.
Virve Sutinen, artistic director of Tanz im August 2014–2022: “Nothing can beat the live experience! For Tanz im August the year 2022 marks a return to the ‘new normal’ after the early months of the pandemic. The extensive Cristina Caprioli / ccap retrospective “ONCE OVER TIME” goes against the trend of continually producing and consuming new works, but is an overwhelming choreographic event. The aim in 2022 is also to develop new touring and artistic concepts, and this year represents the culmination of a valuable dialogue we have had with artists from Indigenous backgrounds.”
