During the year’s darkest month, Chez Company, together with Kunstakademie students as well as artists from Kunsthaus KAT 18, transform nautical terms into poetic play directions, initiating artistic interaction near the Rhine.

queering of age invites its audience to experience auto fictional texts, memories and reflections on growing up queer in the 1990s, the 2000s and the 2010s, in Western Germany and in the South of Brazil. Narrative spaces on desire, self-concepts and invisibility emerge between teenage magazines, pop music and film quotes.

This interdisciplinary showcase marks the last appearance of Cheers for Fears for the time being. The shared evening shows works by students and North Rhine-Westphalian artists on the brink of professionalism. There will be scenic works from all genres, concerts, and short films.

Political discourse is often complicated – foreign words, long sentences, too may opinions all at once. What if you cannot follow it all? Inclusive theatre ensemble Meine Damen und Herren tackles these questions. Sag’s mir einfach deals with difficult language, with not understanding and the right to yet have a say.

Evgenija Gercui tests the benefits and the boundaries of independence. Where do we stand alone, and where do we find helping hands? Between performatively processing everyday life and the autonomous aspects of creating theatre, topics such as neighbouring, individualism and the search for community are negotiated.

This evening opens a dialogue on resettlement, flight, and migration. It directs the gaze unto “the other half of our reality” – towards people from destroyed nations that recover from colonial unrest and corrupt governments, carrying a seed for potential, resources, and new beginnings.

The RuhrgebietsSpatzen celebrate the potential in German schlager – in this violet night, Pani Kostka and Mercedes Tuccini take their audience into a glittering world between politics, propaganda, and nightlife culture.

Jan Völker examines the spacefaring renaissance under the portent of privatisation. Tourists are being shot into space, plans for asteroid mining envisaged, while the search for new sites for humanity is underway – thus begins space colonisation.

At the conclusion of our media arts project Game Space – Space Game, we invite everyone interested in games, technology and cultural education. Additionally, a new game will be presented on our FFT Cubes within the Foyer!
