A dancing finale with heart, impact, and imagination
With the closing event of the 11th Dance Culture Week, the Stadthalle Göttingen opens its stage on September 27, 2026, for The Conference of the Tigers – an imaginative dance performance that blends family history, movement art, and a poetic rescue mission. Loosely based on Erich Kästner, Michael Ende, and Douglas Adams, a stage experience emerges that appeals to children, adults, and dance audiences alike.
When order meets imagination
At the center is a visually striking conflict: adults rely on discipline, tickets, and control, while children become increasingly isolated under this harshness. From this tension develops a story that does not come across as didactic but instead relies on the emotional power of community through dance energy and narrative clarity.
Choreography, storytelling, and set design as a shared breath
The artistic signatures of Judith Kara in choreography and Lia A. Eastwood in storytelling and stage illustration promise a production where body, image, and rhythm work closely together. Particularly the connection between dance and visual elements gives the performance that theatrical atmosphere, transforming a children's and family story into a significant cultural event.
A finale with a social heartbeat
The finale of the Dance Culture Week receives a special resonance space with this production: the hall becomes a place of rescue, empathy, and imagination. The afternoon is complemented by a supporting program during the break, where former mini-goose girls from past years are expected for the 125th anniversary of the goose girl and the workshop results of the week are showcased.
Stadthalle Göttingen as a lively venue
The Stadthalle Göttingen provides the right stage for this production: centrally located, with good access and clear signage for entry and accessibility. The hall is accessible for people with disabilities, there are wheelchair spaces available, and visitors follow the usual Stadthalle organization with coat check and safety rules.
Conclusion: Those seeking dance, storytelling, and an imaginative family experience will enjoy a special cultural event with emotional impact and artistic diversity here. The Conference of the Tigers invites you to not just see movement, but to feel it – live in Göttingen.
