Stuttgart Flamenco Festival — World-Class Dance in Southern Germany
The Stuttgart Flamenco Festival has been held annually since 2011 at the beginning of August and is one of the most important Flamenco festivals north of the Alps. The festival is organized by Stuttgarter Flamenco Festival e.V., in close cooperation with Theaterhaus Stuttgart, the Tanz + Performance Production Centre, and a network of Spanish dance production houses. 2026 marks the 16th edition — with a focus on the Compañía of Manuel Liñán and their current production Muerta de Amor.
Theaterhaus Stuttgart and Production Centre — The Stages
The venue is the Theaterhaus Stuttgart (Siemensstraße 11, 70469 Stuttgart-Nord) — one of Germany's largest independent venues with stages T1 (main stage) and T2 (medium stage). In addition, the festival uses the adjacent Tanz + Performance Production Centre for workshops and studio performances. Stuttgart-Nord has been a hotspot for the independent dance and performance scene for years, and the Theaterhaus is one of the most important venues in the region.
Program Structure — Performances, Galas, Workshops
The festival follows a proven three-part structure:
1. Performances — international companies present new productions on T1 and T2.
2. Galas — the Gala bailaoras (women's Flamenco) and Flamenquitos (children/young talent) showcase the spectrum of the scene.
3. Workshops — from August 2 to 8, 18 courses are offered for beginners, intermediates, and professionals. Dance steps, compositions, singing, cajón — the workshop program is one of the most extensive in Central Europe.
Stuttgart and Dance
Stuttgart (state capital of Baden-Württemberg, independent city 08111) is one of Germany's most important dance cities. With the Stuttgart Ballet, the John Cranko School, the Theaterhaus, the Production Centre, and a vibrant independent scene, the dance ecosystem here is exceptionally diverse. The Stuttgart Flamenco Festival adds the aspect of contemporary Flamenco to this ecosystem — as an annual highlight for an international audience from all over Southern Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
