Lausitz Festival 2024

In late summer, the Lausitz Festival once again offers exciting culture experiences at special locations in Lusatia in southern Brandenburg and eastern Saxony. This year's festival edition continues to focus on one aspect of structural transformation. The 2024 programme artistically processes the inspirational word ‘Anderselbst’ (different self) in a wide variety of events.

The Lausitz Festival 2024 will open on 25 August in Weißwasser with William Shakespeare: ‘Othello/The Strangers’. As a pre-opening the night before, visitors are invited to the extraordinary musical spectacle ‘Freude schöner Lausitzfunken’ at the Old Town Festival in Görlitz. The fifth edition of this European arts festival will feature around 60 events in 10 genres with eight original productions: covering classical concerts to jazz, theatre, dance, film, literature and song recitals to philosophical discussions at the Lausitz Labor. At the end of the festival, Cottbus will be the venue for renowned jazz musicians’ interpretations of first results from song workshops in the event “Lausitzlieder”.

The festival is under the patronage of the Minister Presidents of Brandenburg and Saxony, Dr Dietmar Woidke and Michael Kretschmer.
