We hope you will join us May 11 – 16, 2027 for an international week of theater and fellowship.
Berlin is a city of profound contradictions and extraordinary creativity where history, contemporary Jewish life, and groundbreaking art intersect in deeply meaningful ways.
Join Theater J on a special journey to the Theatertreffen, one of Europe’s most prestigious theater festivals, where the most exciting productions from across Europe invite audiences to engage with urgent questions, unexpected perspectives, and the possibilities of live performance.
Beyond the stage, we’ll explore Berlin’s rich and complicated Jewish history while encountering the vibrant Jewish life of the present: a diverse community of artists, thinkers, cultural institutions, and organizations helping shape the city’s future. Along the way, we’ll experience Berlin’s extraordinary museums, performance spaces, and neighborhoods, discovering how art and culture can illuminate the past while opening up new ways of imagining what comes next.
For Theater J, this is more than a trip. It’s an invitation to connect across cultures, deepen our understanding of Jewish life around the world, and experience the transformative power of theater in an international context.
Join us in Berlin for a journey of discovery, dialogue, and unforgettable theater.
