HofHaltig – The Hof Autumn Market
<p><strong>Experience the Hof Autumn Market under the motto “HofHaltig”!</strong></p> <p>Under the name “HofHaltig,” the market presents itself in a new light. The goal is to transform the Hof city center into a meeting point for regional traders, manufacturers, creators, and initiatives to inform and raise awareness about sustainability. At “HofHaltig,” we focus not only on offering consumer goods but also on introducing visitors to sustainable living options.</p> <p>HofHaltig, a blend of the name of the city Hof and the word sustainable, took place for the first time in 2022. The concept was well received: The Hof Autumn Market showcased its new sustainable identity last year and is sure to attract many visitors to the Hof city center again this year. HofHaltig will present regional products and sustainably produced goods on Saturday, September 27, and Sunday, September 28, and will also provide a platform for services and information booths on sustainability and climate protection.</p> <p>At “HofHaltig,” not only consumer goods are offered, but visitors are also introduced to sustainable living options. One of the region's most popular themed markets! No wonder: special pedestrian areas have been expanded for foot traffic. While strolling through the sunny autumn Hof city center, visitors can look forward to a variety of market stalls and vendors.</p> <p>The keywords environmental and climate protection, ecological footprint, regionality, and sustainability are not only widely discussed but are now tangible and experiential. Ecological garden design, ideas for reuse, as well as re- and up-cycling will also be addressed. Of course, local retail remains a key part of the market weekend: On Sunday, September 28, there will be a shopping Sunday in the Hof city center.</p>
BALLET BLANC
<p><strong>Experience a unique chamber dance evening with the Hofer Compagnie!</strong></p> <p>Like approaching a blank sheet of paper, the dancers of the Hofer Compagnie present their own personal choreographies in a chamber dance evening themed around the color “White,” yet it will be rich in color. White is the brightest of all colors, not a spectral color, but a mixture of individual colors. White symbolizes perfection, goodness, purity, innocence, enlightenment, insight, and peace, while in Asian cultures, it also represents loss and mourning.</p> <h3>The Piece: Plot and Theme</h3> <p>White is also the color of the so-called “Ballets blancs,” scenes from the romantic ballet style where the ballerina or the corps de ballet is dressed in white. You can look forward to the creative ideas of our ballet company dancers and their diverse styles, as no other evening allows for such immediate experience as this chamber dance evening!</p> <h3>Staging and Presentation</h3> <p>A special evening for the audience, but also for the company. KOST rehearsal Thu, Apr 3, 25, 5:30 PM discussion with the ballet company in the foyer, followed by a public rehearsal in the studio.</p> <h3>The Theater Experience</h3> <p>Enjoy the atmosphere at the Theater Hof, where art and culture meet. The chamber dance evening promises not only visual but also emotional experiences that will captivate the audience.</p> <h3>Practical Information</h3> <p>The Theater Hof is located at Kulmbacher Straße 5, 95030 Hof.
