At the moment, one festival cancellation comes after the other. That is why we also receive inquiries as to whether BEGEHUNGEN will take place this year. Of course, we dealt with the question in detail. After evaluating all aspects very carefully, we can say very clearly: YES, BEGEHUNGEN 2020 will happen. Live! In reality! And not just as an internet stream!
We are discussing various variants of the realisation internally, but also with the relevant authorities. The BEGEHUNGEN-festival is primarily an exhibition project. Therefore one option to make the festival possible in times of restrictions is to limit the number of visitors being in the exhibition at the same time. To give every interested person the chance to visit the BEGEHUNGEN-exhibition we would like to extend the festival’s duration.
However, it is certain that we will have to re-design our festival program. As you can imagine, there will be no concerts with lots of spectators standing very close to each other. But we are examining other exciting forms of performances for music, literature and film.
At the moment, however, we are still sticking to the initially announced festival period from August 13th to August 16th. We will finalize the exact festival dates until mid-June.
With this statement we want to give our visitors, but above all the artists, the certainty that BEGEHUNGEN will take place in 2020. So feel further welcome to answer our Open Call. Apply, participate, become part of BEGEHUNGEN 2020! Look forward to exciting „Entwürfnisse“ at Ring 8 with us!
Until then – stay safe!
The BEGEHUNGEN Team
