What does our programme say about your festival stars?
Aries
You're not made to sit still. The stars advise: go for Black and let Oulouy's powerful movement language sweep you away, then join a conversation about the big questions of our time afterward. You call that a quiet evening of soaking up culture.
Taurus
You love searching for a place where you feel at home. Discover Stadsuitleg by Platform GRAS and join the conversation about housing happiness, safety, and the city of the future. Afterward, you're allowed to flop down in the grass for a bit.
Gemini
You want to know everything, preferably all at once. Luckily, &Society is here: from true crime to democracy, from Big Tech to climate. The Flash talks & table thoughts by Young Academy Groningen and Studium Generale also perfectly suit your need for new ideas (and new people to talk about them with).
Cancer
The world sometimes hits you a bit too hard. Look for softness at The Museum of Small and Overlooked Things or En Vele Anderen: programs that show small memories and unheard voices matter too.
Leo
You love a stage and a bit of drama. See how Lisa Loeb turns the spotlight on equality in Fopfeminisme, or discover Hystory, where everything once considered "too much" is finally celebrated.
Virgo
You want to understand how things work. The stars point you toward Bodemwezen, In de ban van de jaarring, and Zombies in de natuur. Finally, proof that trees and parasites have interesting stories too.
Libra
You seek nuance in a world full of opposites. Perfect for our democracy programs: listen to conversations about polarization, the radical right, news avoidance, and how we can find our way back to each other. Not a debate to win, but a conversation to grow wiser from.
Scorpio
You're not afraid of uncomfortable questions. Head to Blackface or Centroamérica and dive into conversations about history, identity, and responsibility. You might walk away with more questions than you came with — that's exactly the point.
Sagittarius
You want to travel, but you don't have to leave Groningen. With makers from Greece, Mexico, Portugal, South Africa, and Ivory Coast, you'll travel the world through the international program. Bonus points if you also catch Make Air, Not War: maybe air guitar really can save the world.
Capricorn
You like looking ahead. Explore what the future holds at All the Downtime, Stadsnomaden, and conversations about care, climate, and society. The stars say: planning is fine, but leave room for surprises.
Aquarius
You love strange ideas and new forms. Your agenda is calling for Burnt Toast, Darum (EOL), and Asteroide. If nobody quite knows what it is; you're probably in the right place.
Pisces
You look for stories with heart. Let yourself be moved by 12 Last Songs, ZORSE, or Stadsnomaden. Because sometimes a personal story tells you more about the world than a thousand news reports.
