Münchener Biennale
The Münchener Biennale celebrates its 20th edition in May 2026!
This festival of new music theatre premieres illustrates how creative artists with multi-geographic backgrounds view a complex present – and how this reality shapes music theatre. Between escapism and activism, retrospection and a bold look ahead, music theatre works emerge that tell of what it means to find one’s place in this world and to face the crises and challenges of our time.
The new artistic management team consisting of musicologist and cultural manager Katrin Beck and composer Manuela Kerer – opens spaces for participation and engages with social questions. Together they look for new compositional voices and exciting international, national and local collaborations to accompany this process of openness.
With its activities aimed at young audiences, the active involvement of local communities and spontaneous actions across the city, the Münchener Biennale invites everyone interested to discover and experience contemporary music theatre in new ways. It aims to spark dialogue and above all: to spread the excitement of a festival.
