At the Place Émile Hamilius, the pulsing heart of the capital, visitors can discover the colorful programme of the THEATER FONDATIOUN.
Networking opportunity
After four successful years in the city centre, the event emphasizes again on direct contact with the visitors. As part of the opening of the theatre and dance season in Luxembourg, cultural workers and representatives of theatres, cultural centres and companies invite the audience to discuss at their stands, to socialise and above all to discover the upcoming season.
From 2pm to 6.30pm, lovers of dance and theatre can meet with artists and technicians, who they usually see on and around the stage, while potential lovers of the theatre and curious people can buy the programmes and brochures of the different institutions. It does not matter if you only have a few minutes, if you are waiting for a bus or tramway at a nearby stop, only passing by or you want to stay longer at the theatre festival – everyone is welcome. The event is an ideal opportunity to meet those people, who make the performing arts in Luxembourg alive. Come and meet them, ask about their season, their upcoming projects, their work, their vision for theatre and dance…
A musical afternoon
The three musical groups La Fanfare Couche-Tard, Ça Gaze and Les Frères Lapoisse will animate the event throughout the whole afternoon with their “cheerful, powerful Balkan folk music”, their “French marching music trio” and their “two-man rock’n’roll folk”.
Face painting
During the whole afternoon, young and old can let themselves get put on make-up by the make-up artist MADmoiselle, who paints faces, arms and even backs of hands with theatrical, fairy-like or animal-like themes with pleasure.
