This cross-generational cooperation builds a bridge from the historical beginnings to the present day.
Artistically, the anniversary show focuses on a symbiosis of different forms of expression: in addition to classical and modern choreography, film and media art elements will be integrated into the performance. Additionally, visitors can view a photo exhibition in the foyer of the Volkshaus starting at 4:00 PM, documenting visual impressions from the association’s 65-year history.
🎭 Culture & City Life: Significance for Jena’s Cultural Scene
Since its founding 65 years ago, Tanztheater Jena has developed into a permanent and indispensable institution in the local cultural scene. As a creative meeting place, the association has promoted the artistic development of amateur and young dancers in Jena for generations. The historic Volkshaus, which serves as a traditional educational and cultural site at Carl-Zeiss-Platz, provides the appropriate setting for this festive look back and the outlook for the ensemble’s future.
