Festival Discourse with Political Impact and Sonic Depth

As part of the festival Germany, Germany Among Others, the State Theatre of Kassel opens its thinking space on May 31, 2026, for a discourse program on Hanns Eisler's German Symphony. The event in INTERIM combines lecture format, festival atmosphere, and music theater context into a concentrated multi-day experience that goes far beyond a single program item.

A Festival that Makes History Audible

The festival focuses on engagement rather than superficiality. The integration of Eisler's premiere into a political and cultural-historical framework shows how consistently the festival organization emphasizes content depth and artistic friction. Hanns Eisler, Bertolt Brecht, and Ignazio Silone represent a tradition where music, society, and dissent are closely intertwined.

INTERIM as a Strong Stage for Big Questions

By choosing the State Theatre Kassel - INTERIM, the festival selects a place that is itself part of the narrative. The new theatre building on the site of the former Jägerkaserne creates a dense, urban atmosphere with clear acoustic presence. Especially for a discourse surrounding a staged premiere like the German Symphony, a space is created here where thoughts reverberate and festival visitors can experience the production in a broader context.

Between Lecture, Anticipation, and Scene

The format is aimed at all those who want to not only consume festival culture but also understand it. Lectures, premiere context, and the political environment of the work make this event an important building block in the festival line-up. The combination of theory, theater, and musical expectation lends the day a special tension, one that can only be experienced at well-curated cultural festivals.

Why the Event is Worth Attending

Those who visit the festival on-site will not encounter a standard event, but rather a precise view of a work that stands between oratorio, political song, and dramatic reflection. The strength of this program point lies exactly therein: It invites to listen, think along, and continue the conversation - and makes you eager to experience the festival live at the Kassel INTERIM.
