BERLIN · Michail Stangl #5993 [leisure system & boiler room] really outdid himself with curating this year's ctm festival, which will begin the 28th of january and end the 3rd of february. under the title, the golden age, the festival seeks to reflect on the (over-)abundance of music in the modern world and its consequences for individuals, aesthetics, politics and the economy.

the hau theatre, berghain and kunstraum kreuzberg/bethanien will once again host most events, yet further venues will likely round out the festival map according to the specific needs of individual projects.
