The Bautzner Street 107 after 1989

The villa\wigman once again offers insights into the examination and visualization of its history as part of Artistic Series No. 3 . It is the continuation of Artistic Series No. 1 and No. 2, which in 2022 dealt with the time of Mary Wigman's work in Dresden from 1920 to 1942 and in 2023 with the time of the GDR at Bautzner Straße 107.

From April 26 to 28, 2024, Artistic Series No. 3 will focus on the period after reunification from 1989 to the present day, when the building at Bautzner Straße 107 was used in a variety of ways. The venue offered the Saxon State Opera Dresden a chamber stage with the Kleine Szene. It was also a platform for the first productions of the independent performing arts. The TANZherbst and Tanzwoche festivals found their main venue here. The venue provided students from Dresden's art academies with space for classes and presentations until it was only used as a non-public rehearsal venue for the Saxon State Opera from 2010. In 2019, the Villa Wigman Association for Dance took over the building on a hereditary building lease with the state capital of Dresden - to preserve the historically valuable dance venue and to operate it as a space for the performing arts and gradually renovate it.

In artistic debates, panel discussions, talks, exhibitions and guided tours, the aforementioned period is reflected upon artistically and discursively.
