SEOUL PERFORMING ARTS FESTIVAL

Founded in 2008, Creative VaQi discovers the themes from our contemporary society. Members from different backgrounds go through research, exploration, firsthand experience and workshop together and translate the resulting documentations, changes of perspective and revelations into the language of performing arts.
Rather than language-oriented theatre, they seek to create the richest kind of performing art pieces by utilizing ingredients of various art disciplines including objects, body, media and installation art. Using alternative spaces besides theatres such as crosswalks, squares and abandoned buildings, they have attempted at encounters of people and environments that are possible because theatre is theatre. Also, they try not to merely celebrate new forms but to collectively pursue a spirit and philosophy that can make the world a better place.

Located in Munich, Residenztheatre is one of the leading venues in Germany. It first opened in the 18th century as Bavarian State Theatre and now more than 45 actors belong to it.
It communicates with the audience in different theatrical languages ranging from the classical to contemporary. It has 3 venues: Residenztheater has 887 seats, a Baroque-style Cuvilliés-Theater 523 seats and Marstall, with flexible units, has 200.
In 2019, Andreas Beck, artistic director of Theater Basel who is gaining a lot of attention and recognition in the European theatre scene, became the new artistic director of Residenztheatre, enabling it to present more experimental and innovative contemporary theatre.
