Volksbad at the Volksbühne

August 7 - October 1, 2026

A temporary swimming pool has been set up in front of the Volksbühne. To mark the start of his tenure as artistic director, Lilienthal had a 25-meter-long swimming pool installed in front of the theater from August through October.

With the Volksbad, a temporary swimming pool will be set up in front of the Volksbühne for eight weeks.

To kick off the new artistic directorship at the Volksbühne, Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz will be transformed into a public swimming pool for eight weeks. At its heart is a 25-meter-long swimming lane, open to the public free of charge. The program is complemented by swimming lessons for children, swimming days for various communities, and a series of discussions and educational activities. The result is an open meeting place for neighbors, theater enthusiasts and anyone looking to cool off in the heart of the city.
