Brüder Grimm Festspiele Hanau

The Brothers Grimm Festival is an annual theater festival held in Hanau, Germany from mid-May to the end of July. The productions attract over 80,000 spectators each year to Hanau’s open-air amphitheater. The Brothers Grimm Festival is characterized by its annual premieres based on the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, who were born in Hanau. 

Each year, renowned authors, composers and directors are commissioned to update and reinterpret the Brothers Grimm material. Through their perspective on the material, the festival is always in tune with the times and provides new, inspiring impulses. This dynamic and innovative approach skillfully combines the preservation of cultural heritage with the courage to innovate. The festival is known for its original adaptations of fairy tales, which are not only aimed at children, but also at adults; the fairy tales always have a double level of interpretation, which makes them particularly popular with adult audiences.

In addition, the festival also presents a classic piece from the repertoire of European theatre history every year in the “Theater.Classics” series, and a contemporary piece performed by young theatre artists in the “Young Talents” series.
