neanderland BIENNALE
The neanderland BIENNALE is a county-wide theater festival with a local connection that takes place every two years and appeals to all age groups. In 2021, the neanderland BIENNALE celebrated its 10th anniversary.
The festival took place from August 21 to September 10 under the motto "10Suchtsorte" (10 places of longing) as a cooperation between the district of Mettmann and the cities of Erkrath, Haan, Heiligenhaus, Hilden, Langenfeld, Mettmann, Monheim am Rhein, Ratingen, Velbert and Wülfrath.
Ten cities, one longing - for culture! The neanderland BIENNALE 2021 invited us to rediscover this longing for culture under the conditions of the pandemic with a varied program. The focus was on theater productions at unusual venues, often outdoors. A completely new feature was the Theater+ sidebar, which opened up to other cultural genres: acrobatics, readings, concerts and, for the first time, poetry slams. Thus, theater purists and all other culture enthusiasts got their money's worth.
The next neanderland BIENNALE will take place in summer 2023. For more information, visit www.neanderland-biennale.de.
