Theatre

The theatre repertoire comprises classics as well as numerous world premieres and German premieres. 1984 saw the first Heidelberger Stückemarkt, one of the oldest and most renowned festivals for contemporary theatre, profiling a different guest country each year. In February 2017, Theater und Orchester Heidelberg first staged ¡Adelante! as a festival with extraordinary guest performances from Ibero-American countries that is unique on Germany’s stages. In 2022, the one-off festival Remmidemmi celebrates contemporary drama by staging ten new plays, commissioned by the Theater Heidelberg, all focusing on »resistance«.
