schrit_tmacher Festival 2024

It's that time again! Every year between carnival and Easter, schrit_tmacher invites you to experience contemporary dance at a wide variety of productions from all over the world.

The upcoming 29th edition of the festival celebrates dance with leading companies and makers from New Zealand, France, China, the United States, Great Britain, Senegal, Germany, Wales, Belgium and from our own country.

Since the first festival in 1993 at the Ludwig Forum Aachen, schrit_tmacher has developed into a cross-border dance/cultural festival of international stature with performances, films, workshops and surprising location projects. With performances in Aachen, Heerlen, Kerkrade and Eupen, the festival is at the forefront of the innovative, even unique situation of one large festival taking place simultaneously in three countries, with a Euroregional, international audience shuttling between all locations. Year after year, this consolidates the region's quality as an internationally oriented "dance region".

And there is more. The youth programme GENERATION2 with productions by young dancers in Aachen and Heerlen, special collaborations (our festival specials) and an exciting context programme round off our festival programme as always to form a great whole.

Schrit_tmacher looks forward to experiencing this new schrit_tmacher edition with all of you.
