Review of the festivals of the last years

Next to a masked person sits another person who spits liquid toward the ceiling.

Six performers each stand in front of a microphone in two rows. Their arms are spread out at a 45-degree angle on both sides. Their blue tracksuits sparkle and the right legs of their pants are cut off.

Two people are dancing on stage in front of a large shelf.

The performer sits on a wooden bench, a red and a black piece of fabric lying on his knees. Below, behind, and above him are large white surfaces. In front of him lies an overturned statue of Mary, and a larger black statue of Mary stands upright.

Twelve young dancers stand in a dark stage space. They are dressed in different streetwear-style costumes. Three sit on the shoulders of three others. The group stands slightly on their knees with their hands outstretched frontally.

Two women stand in front of a red wall and argue. Both are wearing short white tops, tiny handbags under their armpits, blonde wigs and red monster gloves with long claws. One shows her middle finger, the other makes a choking gesture.

Five Black men in dark, body-hugging clothing stand in a blue-lit stage area. Two walk to the right towards the edge of the picture, one sits leaning against a chair, one lies prone and one stands leaning against a chair.

Close-up of the puppet of a green cricket with long, hanging antennae. She stands behind a bistro counter, behind her a shelf of dishes, in front of her a display of pastries.

In a large blue stage space stands a 4-metre-wide water tank. Around it stand fully or partially naked women holding fishing rods in the tank. In the centre, a naked woman hangs from a ribbon that she holds only with her teeth.

In a room with a large chessboard pattern on the floor, a cluster of people stand in the middle of knee-high chess pieces. Two women in cute pink dresses seem to be moving the pieces around. Everyone else is watching.

Three people kneel in front of a car in orange mist. They rest their heads on each other's shoulders.

A man is working at a kitchen island. Two other people are sitting opposite him and eating. To the left and right of the kitchen island are screens showing close-ups of aquatic plants.

Evening, festive atmosphere in the Avantgarten. The Migrantpolitan container is colorfully lit, some guests are sitting in front of it, drinking and chatting.

On a dark stage, 6 people play instruments with a lot of dynamics. A man in the middle drums while splashing water around the room, a violinist kneels on a beam, another lies on his back with a double bass on his stomach.

In a white stage space, six dancers gather in the center of the image, all engaged in expressive movements. Above everything hovers a black disc, on the right sits a black dancer in cowboy outfit and legs extended by stilts.

Three men are standing in a kitchen-living room and talking. One of the men has his back to the audience and is naked.

A purple-lit outdoor stage with human silhouettes in the mist in front of it.

A young woman with brown hair and a white T-shirt is lying on a white mattress with fairytale figures printed on it. There are black roses on her lap and pink roses around her. Behind the mattress, "SHE GIT LOVE" is smeared in red.

An older white woman with short white hair pulls on a rope with both hands and uses her entire body weight to do so. The scene is very dark. The woman is wearing a dark-coloured jumpsuit.
