Festival Digithalia: Discover the future of the theater!

Schauspielhaus Graz, Graz, Österreich - The Digithalia Festival has conquered the stage world with its varied and innovative program in Graz. Between March 19 and 22, 2025, it invites visitors to immerse themselves in the future of the theater, where creative minds research new forms of expression. The works range from impressive installations to captivating films to interactive plays and concerts. As reports orf.at , the focus is on the performance "End of Life", in which the spectators travel to an exciting, digital fantasy world.

A highlight of the festival is the piece "Machine Talks", which was developed in collaboration with acting students from the Graz Art University. Here a AI application generates the stage text live during the performance-a game between man and technology that impressively illustrates the potential of artificial intelligence in the theater. According to digithalia.buehnen-graz.com , the festival is understood as a platform that suggests visitors to think about the future of the theater and together to search for creative solutions in a digitized world.

creativity meets technology

The director of the Schauspielhaus Graz, Andrea Vilter, emphasizes the peculiarity of the Digithalia Festival: it encourages curiosity and the joint experience of new theatrical forms of expression. In its second edition, the festival shows how theater acts as the space of dialogue and questioning. The organizers invite you to think about the challenges of the digital world and to develop a theater of the utopias in which old questions are treated again. With contributors and productions from Europe and beyond, Digithalia offers a unique platform for everyone who wants to research the fusion of technology and art.
