The Festival de Marseille, a major festival devoted to dance and other arts, combines a whole range of genres and cultures. Dance, shows, plays, concerts, installations, performances, films, public events and parties form an intense summer programme that takes place across the city : 3 weeks of events relating to the work of highly committed artists, providing fascinating insights into their approches and worldview. Diverse, festive and international, the Festival de Marseille reflects the energy and vibrancy of the city of Marseille.

The International Summer Festival Hamburg takes place three weeks in August at Kampnagel and selected places in the city of Hamburg. Since its beginning in the mid-80s the festival has held a position as one of the big European festivals for new performative arts from all over the world. Each year it presents and produces over 50 different works from dance, theatre, performance, music, visual arts and film. Invited artists stand out due to their interest and engagement in the present, pop-theoretical issues, interdisciplinary approaches and radical aesthetic approaches.

In the frame of the 60th anniversary of the city partnership Hamburg-Marseille and with the support of the City of Hamburg, the International Summer Festival Kampnagel (Hamburg, Germany) and Festival de Marseille are inviting young people pursuing degrees in art, theatre, culture- and theatre-studies to attend and participate in both festivals in order to develop their critical thinking and share their experiences, thoughts and work with five other students from Hamburg.

This blog is the result of the process of critical and creative thinking during the residencies.
