Programm 2026

Performances

Unique theater experiences featuring virtual and analog protagonists: At DIGITHALIA, international productions demonstrate how new technologies consistently lead to new narrative approaches. From complex image machines to immersive radio plays, the program invites you to experience new worlds and ask questions: What kind of people do machines dream of? What stories do their virtual bodies tell? And where does humanity fit in as our lives become increasingly digitized?
