37. International Festival Berlin
13.–30.8.2025
The 37th edition of the International Festival Tanz im August, a festival by HAU Hebbel am Ufer, opened up spaces for new perspectives on choreography, movement and cultural practices – and turning dance into a resonant field for urgent social questions and bold aesthetic visions.
The festival showed 20 productions across 10 venues, including 3 premieres, 10 German premieres, and 5 Berlin and international co-productions – with a total of 54 performances
Ricardo Carmona, Artistic Director of Tanz im August: “This year’s festival has shown how art – like shifting ground – reshapes our shared space. The enthusiasm of the Berlin audience demonstrates that dance not only ignites imagination, but also strengthens the bonds that hold us together, even when we do not always agree. I also see this as a message to cultural policymakers: that here, in the freedom of art and in the gathering of many, lies a societal potential – especially in dance – that must be strengthened, protected and sustainably supported for the future.”
