Overview

The 37th edition of Tanz im August 2025 ran from August 14 to 30, across three HAU stages and guest venues in Berlin. Artistic direction was by Ricardo Carmona, who shaped the festival with a focus on African, Latin American, and Asian choreographers and introduced the 'Library in August' format as a meeting point.

37th Edition — The Summer of Diaspora Choreographies

In the summer of 2025, Tanz im August continued its curatorial course under Ricardo Carmona: many voices from the global South, dense discourse formats, film series, and festival parties. On the three HAU stages — HAU1, HAU2 (main venue, Hallesches Ufer 34, Kreuzberg), and HAU3 — as well as at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele, companies from Brazil, Senegal, Belgium, France, Taiwan, and Berlin presented new works. The Library in August opened its doors as a free reading and meeting space, solidifying the idea of HAU as a dance forum for the entire city. The festival concluded with sold-out performances and a grand closing party.
