Sooo HELLERAU – Image Campaign 2023

With “Sooo HELLERAU”, HELLERAU – European Center for the Arts presents itself as an international house of contemporary arts from May to September 2023.

With the poster and social media campaign, HELLERAU invites people to share, talk and visit. For many people in Dresden and the surrounding area, the Festspielhaus HELLERAU is a place of tradition and history, for others a valuable and inspiring new discovery. For some, however, the visit also involves a venture – and not only because of its location far from the city center.

“Sooo HELLERAU” clarifies why this is not a disadvantage, breaks down hurdles and helps to present the diversity of HELLERAU. In the campaign, we deliberately address prejudices – in order to dissolve them together and show that it is worthwhile to dare to come to HELLERAU.

As an international production and guest performance house, HELLERAU is not only a home for contemporary theater, dance, music, art and performance, but also a place of encounter and togetherness. 

HELLERAU is ...

sooo complex to stay in the conversation,
sooo arty, to shift the horizon,
sooo avant-garde, to be at the forefront,
sooo decentralized, so that you come to rest,
sooo diverse, so that everyone has something to offer,
sooo international – in your local culture area.

Sooo HELLERAU!

What exactly does that mean? The best way to find out is to visit.

About the campaign

With the support of Berlin-based graphic agency Any Studio and copywriter Niklas Sander, an image campaign was created that can be seen on posters throughout Dresden, in cinemas, on streetcars and on social media.

The campaign was made possible by funding from the Sächsische Aufbaubank for cultural preservation, which aims to enable cultural institutions and civil society associations to work steadily after the corona-related lockdowns and thus contribute to the continued existence of Saxony’s diverse cultural landscape.
