Event

In 2026, the tour featuring the award winners of the Stuttgart International Solo Dance Theater Festival will once again make a stop at the TanzLabor. The festival celebrated its 30th edition this year and has long been one of the most important platforms for young choreographers and dancers from around the world.

The award winners’ tour features five award-winning solo pieces. The works showcase the wide range of contemporary dance and explore themes such as identity, social expectations, farewells, and loss, as well as the interplay of movement, music, and humor.
