The music theater production "The Garden of Earthly Delights" is a musical theater performance inspired by Hieronymus Bosch's painting of the same name. The actors on stage are accompanied by live Renaissance music by Claudio Monteverdi and Clément Janequin and a theater company made up of people with Down's syndrome.

SILESIA SONANS ON TOUR is a musical festival in Jelenia Góra, which aims to convey classical music and bring together and promote young people and artists in the border area through music and theater. The festival thus continues the German pre-war tradition of holding cultural festivals in the most beautiful sacred building in the region, the Church of Mercy in Jelenia Góra. Within the framework of the festival, competitions for young musicians and ensembles in the field of classical music as well as German-Polish orchestral and theater workshops for young people are held. The highlights are the concerts and music theater performances by artists from Poland and Germany.

The Polish guest performance takes place as part of the German-Polish project "Together into the future", which is organized by the German-Sorbian Volkstheater Bautzen, the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Theater Görlitz-Zittau and the cultural center in Jelenia Góra/Poland. The performance is part of the "Silesia Sonans" festival and is funded by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund within the Operational Program of Cross-Border Cooperation Poland-Saxony 2014-2020.
