Here we go!

Dear audience,

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended our press conference last evening!

We are delighted to present to you today the complete programme of this year's 38th edition of the international festival Tanz im August from 13 to 29 August 2026, which is a festival of HAU Hebbel am Ufer.

The world, like the weather, is in motion. This year’s festival programme therefore unfolds like a weather map, presenting dance as a political force that generates interaction and impact. The artistic works invite us to find orientation together in our current times of instability and to recognize our collective responsibility. 

You can expect 19 productions at 11 venues: Berlinische Galerie, HAU Hebbel am Ufer (HAU1, HAU2, HAU3), Haus der Berliner Festspiele, Radialsystem (Halle und Saal), Sophiensæle, Stadtbad Oderberger, St. Elisabeth-Kirche and Tempelhofer Feld – including 3 premieres,6 German Premieres and 4 Berlin and international co-productions.

You can also look forward to exciting audience formats – artist talks, workshops, podcast episodes and parties.

Tickets and further information are available from today.
