This year the theme of "SHOW" will be brought to the awareness of dance fans.
- How much "show" can art bear and still remain authentic?
- In what way do entertainment and art clash?
- And what actually happens when contemporary dance and popular dance styles collide?
Visitors can look forward to a stylistic crossover to explore these aspects through dance itself. Aesthetics which usually never cross will encounter each other creatively. International artistes from Spain, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Scotland and Finland are coming to be part of ten shows. Visitors will be taken on a trip through the worlds of flamenco and tango, breakdance and hiphop, acrobatics and artistry.
And everybody is invited to join in and dance swing or tango during the festival.
Background to TANZOFFENSIVE
TANZOFFENSIVE began in 2007 as a talent-spotting festival for new trends and styles in contemporary dance. During the festival, internationally highly-regarded productions were brought to the stage in Leipzig. Since then a strong thematic focus has been applied each year.
