The year 2020 marks a meaningful milestone for Torstra\u00dfen Festival: our first decade. Now in our tenth edition, we\u2019ve once again dedicated a Saturday (and night!) to discovering the latest developments in Berlin’s pop underground. Over 30 different artists, bands DJs and performers from the city\u2019s various scenes in its international network will gather throughout various venues in Berlin-Mitte. As a special feature for this double-digit occasion, a photo exhibition \u2013 based on the countless festival photos from our archive \u2013 will offer the chance to trace the recent history and evolution of Berlin’s subcultural music scenes. And on Sunday, we\u2019re back in the beautiful Volksb\u00fchne for the Independent Label Market, rounded out with a closing concert on the theater\u2019s main stage.<\/p>\n
The Roman numeral \u201cX\u201d for 10 is the leitmotif for this landmark edition of the festival. X also symbolizes coming together and exchange, a crossroads of perspectives that converge, meet, overlap and perhaps contradict. Since the beginning, TSF has been bringing together various sounds, scenes, venues and people \u2013 and so the X embodies the festival\u2019s story and ethos. On a larger scale, we would like to take the chance to discuss issues of community and solidarity. We live in a world that faces environmental degradation and climate change, where new and old forms of fascism are on the rise,and neoliberal structures have promoted an increasingly individualistic society. In such a scenario, there\u2019s an urgent need to unite, to form communities, to turn \u00bbindependent\u00ab into \u00bbinterdependent\u00ab. To develop agency together in a way that takes into account different perspectives, especially marginalized ones.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
