A Festival as a Space for Thought
LOOK INTO THE FUTURE is organized by the Cultural Office of the City of Burghausen and sees itself as an interdisciplinary festival where music, dance, film, and discourse enter into a dialogue. Artists outside the mainstream are invited to concerts, performances, workshops, or as film composers, showcasing paths beyond conventions.
Artistic Direction
The program is designed by the musician brothers Cornelius Claudio Kreusch and Johannes Tonio Kreusch. They combine current music and art trends with a strong focus on jazz and relate them to film and visual arts.
Extraordinary Venues
The atmospheric setting of the former Cistercian monastery Raitenhaslach high above the Salzach river offers the audience the opportunity to experience the festival with all senses. Other venues include the 1950s-style Ankersaal, the Stadtsaal, and the Studienkirche St. Josef in Burghausen.
Location and Context
- Interdisciplinary: Music, dance, film, visual arts, discourse

Burghausen in the Altötting district of Upper Bavaria, known for the longest castle complex in the world, becomes a place with LOOK INTO THE FUTURE where contemporary art and music are celebrated as a space for experience and thought.
Look Into The Future — edition 2026
The 7th edition of the LOOK INTO THE FUTURE festival runs from Friday, May 22 to Sunday, May 24, 2026, during Pentecost. Under the title »Music: on the edge«, the program curated by Cornelius Claudio Kreusch and Johannes Tonio Kreusch presents an interdisciplinary spectrum of music, dance, film, and discourse.
