About HYBRID Festival

Three evenings, seven productions, one central question: How can bodies, machines, and collective learning be brought into their own form? The HYBRID Festival at Uferstudios Wedding brings together artists from May 22nd to 24th, 2026, whose work is situated between performance, dance, sound art, and digital media. Studio 1 becomes a space for experimentation where nothing has to be finished, much can remain open, and the audience is part of the process. Tickets from 20 Euros.

What HYBRID is

HYBRID is an interdisciplinary performance festival that takes place at Uferstudios in Berlin-Wedding. It's not about presenting finished productions, but about exploring collaborative formats between dance, performance, sound, and technology. Seven works over three evenings, each followed by a moderated discussion session with artists and industry professionals.

Wedding and the Uferstudios

Uferstudios is located in the heart of Berlin-Wedding, in the Mitte district, on a former tram depot on Badstraße. Today, the area houses one of the most important production sites for independent dance and performance in Berlin. Studio 1, where the festival takes place, is large enough to accommodate multi-channel sound, projected images, and live performance simultaneously.

Format and Language

The festival is conducted in English. Each evening starts at 7:00 PM, lasting approximately two hours. On May 22nd, a moderated dialogue with artists will follow.
