Roughly five touring dance companies present new productions and Austrian premieres each edition, running from March into late spring, making it one of Austria's most established dedicated dance festivals despite its comparatively modest scale.

Bregenzer Fruehling has staged contemporary dance in the Festspielhaus Bregenz every year since 1987, making it one of the longer-running dedicated dance festivals in the German-speaking world and a fixture of the cultural calendar on the Austrian shore of Lake Constance.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Nearly four decades of uninterrupted programming in a single, purpose-built theater sets Bregenzer Fruehling apart from festivals built around improvised or outdoor venues: the Festspielhaus gives touring dance companies a proper technical stage rather than a tent or square

02

The mystery stays covered

Its scale is deliberately modest, roughly five companies and about ten thousand visitors per edition on a budget near half a million euros, yet its curatorial consistency has earned it standing ovations and loyalty from audiences since the 1990s

03

The city starts moving

For a lakeside city best known internationally for open-air summer opera, the festival gives Bregenz a second, very different cultural identity built entirely around contemporary dance
