HOROS 2026 will focus on the in-between states of contemporary human experience in times of geopolitical instability – as we do not live in war, but neither do we live in peace anymore.This fragile coexistence is marked by constant tension, an overload of information, and emotional experiences that cannot always be put into words.
The festival invites audiences to experience and recognise this tension through the body – through movement, rhythm, repetition, and dance – helping us to anchor ourselves in the present. This year’s festival theme is “Amongst people. What lingers.””
Festival passes are available for all performances, as well as passes for the performances on 30 July or 31 July only. Tickets can also be purchased for each performance separately.
