- DirectorYijun PanAnh VoStarsZiWei FengYuan LindseyThe Red Thread of Fate (also referred to as the Red Thread of Marriage) is an East Asian belief originating from Chinese legend. This myth tells the story of how god ties an invisible red thread around the little finger of those that are destined to meet each other. This myth is similar to the western concept of a soul mate or a destined flame. The concept we want to portray is in the modern world; people's relationship gets more and more complicated. So our red thread sometime is not tied to only one person anymore. Sometimes people are getting suffer and torture in the relationship mentally and physically.

- DirectorDavid RadokStarsMats PerssonKatarina GiotasPia SvoronoThe main character in the opera is K., who has many features in common with the writer Franz Kafka, but the authors' aim was not to depict his real life. K. could at the same time be anyone fighting K.'s existential battle. The gallery of people is made up of people that Kafka actually met or that he could have met during his lifetime. Despite the title, the opera "K.

- DirectorThomas ClausStarsBirgitta AssheuerA.R. PenckSimon ElsonRalf Winkler a.k.a. A.R. Penck (1939-2017) was a German painter, printmaker, sculptor, and jazz drummer. Training at the academies of the GDR or membership in the Association of Visual Artists of the GDR remain A.R. Penck refused, although he applied several times for it. And although his art, which oscillates between abstraction and figuration, does not correspond to the aesthetic ideal of socialist realism, he shares the cultural-political view of the role of the artist as a socially relevant force. Again and again Penck deals with the actually existing socialism and rubs against its contradictions. In the mid-1960s, Georg Baselitz sold Winkler's works to the gallery owner Michael Werner, who organized his first solo exhibition in Cologne in 1968.
