Kunstfest Weimar, an annual arts festival in Weimar City, Germany, will present the Taiwan Fokus program from Aug. 24 to Sept. 6. This program will feature Taiwanese performing artists and arts groups such as Chang Chien-hao (張堅豪), Chen Yi (陳乂), the Cloud Gate Dance Theatre (雲門舞集), Tjimur Dance Theatre (蒂摩爾古薪舞集), and MeimageDance (何曉玫舞團).
Founded in 1990 as one of the first joint German-German cultural initiatives, Kunstfest Weimar presents a consistently cross-disciplinary program with numerous premieres and projects developed especially for Weimar. The festival offers a regular program of about 40 to 50 projects, about 150 events divided into the following sections: theater, musical theater, dance, performance and installation, visual arts, film, concerts, literature, and discourse.
The Taiwan Fokus program aims to highlight Taiwan as a high-tech island through the integration of dance and techno-art, while also addressing the German society’s interest in Taiwan’s technological advancements.
