Experimental performing arts platform

CONTEMPO OFF

EXPERIMENTAL PERFORMING ARTS PLATFORM | SINCE 2023

OFF – art that transcends traditional disciplines and forms.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

OFF artworks complement the main programme of the international performing arts festival “ConTempo”.

Interdisciplinary, experimental art exploring new methods, forms, and media.

Contemporary artists showcase ongoing or completed works and discover their context and audience.

Often, new interdisciplinary art no longer fits the definition of a play, an installation, a concert, or a performance. Therefore, this platform serves as a launchpad for emerging works seeking their own path, showcasing them with a full representative package so they can embark on their independent journey
