The Berliner Theatertreffen ("Berlin Theatre Encounter") is the most important theatre festival in Germany, reuniting actors, theatre professionals, journalists and guests from all over the world in Berlin

In 2024, the festival will present all forms of theatre, from dance to puppetry, music theatre and theatrical installations for the 61st time. A Theatertreffen camp and evening events as well as guest performances and readings from the Stückemarkt will take place. The ten plays nominated by the jury will be shown.
