Open-Air Performance "Moving Stones" Dance/Culture Summer
Open-air dance production "Moving Stones" as part of the Kultursommer Rheinland-Pfalz 2026 in Trier
About Moving Stones Trier
The Kultursommer Rheinland-Pfalz 2026 is themed "The Golden Twenties" and supports around 250 projects statewide with a total of approximately 4 million euros. In Trier, the dance production "Moving Stones" is part of this program: two open-air performances on August 14 and 15, 2026, bring contemporary dance into the public space of Germany's oldest city.
The programmatic title "Moving Stones" refers to the interplay between dancing bodies and stone architecture. Trier, with its centuries-old Roman structures – the Porta Nigra, the Amphitheater, the Kaiserthermen, the Barbarathermen, and the Konstantin Basilica – is an exceptional resonance space for such a project. Stones that have stood for almost two thousand years are briefly "set in motion" by the dancers' movements.
As the title is funded as an open-air dance production within the Kultursommer, it can be assumed that the venue, choreography, and ensemble will be announced in the weeks leading up to the premiere. The Kultursommer Rheinland-Pfalz will publish the detailed program on kultursommer.de and through regional communication channels.
Dance in public spaces is an art form that traditionally plays an important role in the Kultursommer Rheinland-Pfalz. It opens up encounters between citizens and contemporary stage art and combines cultural education with artistic innovation.

The two performance dates allow for a weekend format. As the venue specifically contributes to the concept, communication from the Kultursommer will occur well in advance of the premiere.
