Two curators initiate up to ten new solo theater productions for each edition. Thematic focus is on social change and the question of individuals' scope for action in relation to others. Depicting diverse social realities is just as important a motivation as bringing together different artistic styles and disciplines.

Janette Mickan and Michael Müller have been curating the Monologfestival together since 2016. To this end, they actively approach artists and ask them to develop a new position on the theme of the respective edition. Mickan and Müller have been active in the Berlin theater scene for over twenty years and are connected through many years of collaboration on theater projects. Among other things, they have realized numerous play developments for the theater group LUNATIKS in Berlin, Kiel, Hamburg, Seoul, and Brandenburg an der Havel.
