Stadt. Land. Bühne.
Where people usually shop, stroll or eat ice cream, a theatre bus suddenly pulls up. The doors open – and the public space becomes a stage.
Following on from the studio tour initiated by the FUTUR OST cooperative, in 2026 we at LFTS will develop and realise a mobile mini-festival of independent performing arts in Saxony: Stadt. Land. Bühne. will bring current productions from Saxony's independent scene to the town centres of smaller and larger towns. Drama, dance, performance and music will enter into direct dialogue with the urban space and the local people.
The Tour Stops
Between April and October 2026, the project will tour Görlitz, Zittau and Chemnitz, creating synergies between established festivals and the local independent scene.
Perspective
The project opens up new, low-threshold access to the performing arts and at the same time strengthens the presence of the independent scene in various urban contexts. It creates encounters between artists and audiences on an equal footing and links local actors with nationwide and supraregional networks.
As a mobile mini-festival, Stadt. Land. Bühne. also sees itself as a preview: the project is testing formats, collaborations and working methods that could potentially lead to a nationwide festival of independent performing arts in Saxony.
