In its third edition, the Voices Berlin Festival will again present contemporary performing arts and music at various locations in the city, offering a platform to artists who have left their countries of origin for various reasons and are reinventing themselves in changing cultural landscapes.
A diverse programme of new music, contemporary dance, theater, and interdisciplinary productions featuring artists from over 20 countries will be presented at various venues across Berlin from 24 October to 16 November 2025. Voices Berlin Festival is an international platform for contemporary performing arts, founded in 2023 and based in Berlin.
The festival's thematic focus, “Archipelago of Dispersion,” serves as a metaphor for the growing number of artists who, for various reasons, have left their countries of origin and are now reinventing themselves in new cultural landscapes. These movements are reshaping the artistic map of Europe and beyond, as displaced and migrating creatives spark new dialogues across borders. The festival explores how these shifting geographies of culture affect the future of art — how new communities form, how identities transform, and how cultural and technological innovations influence these transformations to create interdisciplinary and multicultural performances.
Representing a diverse tapestry of artistic perspectives and narratives, Voices Berlin serves as a shared arena for dialogue and collaboration, where contemporary art helps both artists and audiences adapt to the complexities of a rapidly changing world.
