In May 2026 the Münchener Biennale celebrates its 20th edition!


With artistic directors Katrin Beck and Manuela Kerer at the helm, this festival for new music theatre will present international premieres, introduce new perspectives on our present-day and invite audiences as well as artists to participate in encounters, dialogue and discoveries.


We look forward to welcoming all participating artists and visitors!

Participants (m/f/d, ages 16-99, amateurs and professionals) from the fields of music and/or martial arts welcome to join the SOUNDING BODIES workshop project on 23/01—25/01/2026, in Munich


Music meets martial arts! Be part of this playful, experimental encounter and join other instrumentalists, martial artists, and combat sports enthusiasts in imagining new forms between sound and movement.


The workshop is an accompanying project to the music theater production XOCHIYAOYOTL (composition: Maximilian Soto Mayorga, staging: Amauta García, Davíd Camargo), which will take place on 13/05/2026 at schwere reiter as part of the Munich Biennale – Festival für neues Musiktheater.
