NORDEN - the nordic arts festival

The cultural program of NORDEN Festival grows once again before Christmas

Shortly before Christmas, we are adding many more program points in the areas of music, literature, theater, art and film. Visitors NORDEN can look forward to a special and northern European cultural program from 25.8.-11.9.22.

The cultural diversity of NORDEN
More than 30 different program points have already been fixed for the three festival weekends. The music program will now be expanded with many more acts from Hamburg, Scandinavia, the Baltic States and, for the first time, the Netherlands.
On the first festival weekend in 2022, the Hamburg band Danube's Banks will bring swing with elements of klezmer and Balkan to the Königswiesen in Schleswig. The Dutch soul-pop band and hip-hop crew The Cool Quest will play on the second festival weekend, and their name as well as their sounds are reminiscent of the US hip-hop band "A Tribe Called Quest". On the same weekend the music program will be completed by the performance of the German singer-songwriter Cäthe. Ten years ago, her album "Ich muss Gar Nichts" was released, which combined pop and punk, but also singer songwriter sounds and brought Cäthe greater fame. At the beginning of 2022 she brings out her current album "Chill Out Punk". She has remained largely true to her style, even if - as the title already reveals - it is no longer quite so dark, loud and extroverted.
Other artists for 2022 are also Tom Gatza from Hamburg as well as I See Rivers from Norway and Chris Noah from Latvia.

In addition to the music program, the literature and film sections are also looking forward to new additions. Timo Peters will be a guest in Kulturzelt and read from his book "Couchsailing: Wie ich per An Hitchhiker über den Atlantik reiste". The blogger and journalist, who now lives in Norway, experienced plenty of adventures and bizarre moments on his sailing trip, which he will share with visitors on the second festival weekend.

The first film for the NORDEN Open-Air Cinema has also already been confirmed. Tove, a film by Finnish director Zaida Bergroth, tells of the exciting life of Finland's best-known author and cartoonist, whose groundbreaking work has enchanted generations of children and adults. In 2021, Tove was the Finnish entry for Best International Film at the Oscars.

Landestheater goes NORDEN!
The Schleswig-Holstein Landestheater is participating in the NORDEN Festival 2022 with three contributions for young and old. On Sunday, September 4, the members of the acting ensemble will move outside into the fresh air and show their musical side on the garden stage. On the following Sunday, September 11, puppeteer Sonja Langmack will offer entertainment for the whole family twice in the Culture Tent. And the theater pedagogy invites to workshops, in which the participants may offer their very own creativity.
The theater deck on the Königswiesen is being rebuilt and will now be called "Manege im Park".
From Finland comes the first program item on the theater deck. Sisus Sirkus is an all-female contemporary circus group presenting their show "Memories of Mud" on the first festival weekend. A tale of two women, comedic and touching at the same time.

NEW! Art on the canal
There will be another novelty in the field of art. Festival initiator Manfred Pakusius: "Art and artistic creation in the form of exhibitions, the construction of art sculptures, participatory art projects and workshops have been part of our program since 2018. At the request of many artists, we are now also planning an art market where artists can exhibit and also sell their works on all three weekends, each Saturday and Sunday." Applications can be submitted today at kunst@norden-festival.com.

Popular hardcover weekend tickets still available from Liesegang

On the road in Berlin

At the Future of Festivals, Philine gave a presentation on accessibility at festivals, including the NORDEN Festival. We are very happy that we have been able to expand our accessibility measures at the NORDEN Festival in recent years and that we can offer people with disabilities equal and independent access. We will now tell you why this is so important and what else we have planned!
