Overview

The fifth edition of Klangteppich (Klangteppich V) took place on June 8 and 9, 2023, at Theater Aufbau Kreuzberg. Two festival days featuring four world premieres, a curatorial mix of folk, heavy metal, sound art, and contemporary composition. With this edition, Klangteppich confirmed its place as one of Berlin's most distinctive festival formats.

Klangteppich V marked an important milestone for the Berlin festival: with its fifth edition, the festival arc developed since 2018 had visibly grown, and the curatorial profile was clearly established. The four world premieres ranged stylistically from folkloric revivals and experimental heavy metal adaptations to pure sound art pieces.

The edition traditionally took place at the Theater Aufbau Kreuzberg at Moritzplatz. As with previous editions, concentrated concert situations with space for an audience of around 200 people defined the atmosphere. Klangteppich e.V. demonstrated that the format functions simultaneously as a festival, an industry platform, and a residency program – a model that has gained recognition in Berlin's festival landscape.
