Fig.___"The festival apparatus, the improvised scaffolding with all the special splendor and frills that indicate more precisely the occasions for the festivity and enhance the glorification of the day - covered with decorations, draped with carpets, dressed with boughs and flowers, adorned with festoons and garlands, fluttering banners and trophies - this is the motive of the permanent monument, which is intended to recount for coming generations the festive act and the event celebrated."

Fig.038Roslyn Sulcas for the New York Times: "Some lounged on deck chairs. Others danced to mellow beats spun by the D.J.s Wahid Paradis andkos_mic q’andi. Dancers, choreographers, programmers and mere mortals stood around with bottles of beer, talking, talking, talking. It was 2 a.m. on Saturday night, and Tanz im August festival’s closing party showed no signs of slowing down."

Fig.007hebbel-am-ufer.de: HAU Hebbel am Ufer presents the annual Tanz im August festival, one of the central festivals for contemporary dance in Europe. Founded in 1989 by Nele Hertling, the festival offers an international range of contemporary dance performances, prestigious companies, innovative choreographers as well as a sense for emerging aesthetics and formats from all over the world. Berlin-based artists present their newest works and numerous German and international premieres are celebrated here. The events at Tanz im August are shown at HAU1, HAU2, and HAU3 as well as at various other locations across Berlin, including Haus der Berliner Festspiele, Sophiensæle, Radialsystem, Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz, and Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz.
Since 2014, Finnish curator Virve Sutinen has been in charge of the festival's program. Having earned a degree in Performance Studies in New York, she became the artistic director of leading dance institutions in Helsinki and Stockholm. Virve Sutinen brings together different generations of artists and various aesthetic approaches. Her name stands for humor and delight in experimentation. In a series of encounter and discussion formats, Tanz im August invites its audience to become an active part of the festival and meet the participating artists. It is for this reason that a library (Bibliothek im August) was installed in the festival center at HAU2. It serves as a temporary reading room and an event location that introduces visitors to the world of the artists to be seen at Tanz im August.
