A Theatre Becomes an Experimental Space
AXIS is the interdisciplinary festival of the Volkstheater Rostock and was first held in 2024. Across several venues within the theatre, the festival brings together music, performance, and visual arts. The concept focuses on encounters: invited guest artists collaborate with the theatre's own departments — drama, dance, music — and jointly develop formats that transcend classical genres.
Between Concert and Performance
The programme ranges from live concerts by international acts and audiovisual dance pieces to short films, photography projects, and live podcasts. The entire theatre is used: from the main hall and the choir hall to the studio theatre. The event sees itself as a platform for genre-crossing experiments and is aimed at a curious, open-minded audience.
Local Context
The Volkstheater Rostock is the central stage of the Hanseatic and University City in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. With AXIS, the theatre expands its programme with a festival format that connects established theatrical work with current trends from pop, electronic, and performance art.
AXIS Festival — edition 2026
For 2026, the Volkstheater Rostock plans a new edition of its interdisciplinary festival AXIS in October. As in previous years, the entire theatre will become an experimental space where guest artists collaborate with the theatre's ensembles. The festival combines live concerts, audiovisual performances, visual arts, and other formats. The exact date and the 2026 programme will be announced on the official website of the Volkstheater.
Programme AXIS Festival 2026
The detailed programme for the 2026 edition will be published at a later date on the official website of the Volkstheater Rostock. The format is expected to again include live concerts, audiovisual performances, and interdisciplinary works at various venues within the theatre.
