Art and political activism have many points of contact. Climate protection activist and author Hanna Poddig dedicates herself to one in particular in this workshop: subversion.

In the field of tension between terrestrial and extraterrestrial utopias and dystopias, the video work raises questions we face regarding climate change: How should we deal with extreme weather events? Do we want to limit our perception to seeing in them only a random natural phenomenon?

Office medienwerk.nrw and partners invite you to the ceremonial opening of Peer to Peer in the foyer of the FFT Düsseldorf!

In connection with the politics of the Anthropocene, the curator Bergit Arends speaks about artists who work with cultures of the black diaspora to question the relationships between the human being, country and conceptions of nature.

The passenger pigeon was eradicated more than a century ago. There are no extant sound or video recordings of the animal. It is now given a techno-intense farewell ritual. Anan Fries invites us to a tender-eerie encounter between human and non-human animals.

YAYA is a crew, a platform that offers space and a voice for club and pop culture. YAYA is a space of solidarity with a focus on BIPOC femmes. YAYA are musical companions of the P2P Month of Media Art in September. We will listen to the sounds of this interesting formation at all four locations.

The 20th century built with exposed concrete, the 21st century builds exposed green. Hauke Heumann and Jan Lemitz have developed a city walk in which texts and images are confronted with concrete places in the urban space.

Derrida’s Unconditional University is a kind of manifesto for the freedom of research and resistance to the economic appropriation of universities. Designers are trained to put nature’s promises, like those of the Ingenhoven Valley, into the picture. The lecture with the project participants illustrates our discoveries along a small journey through the visual world of the phenomenon Ingenhoven Valley.

The Re-Imagining Public Life project artistically examines and researches current transformations of the city and the public. The Kö-Bogen II area in the city centre of Düsseldorf became the starting point for a contention with metropolitan design and the narratives surrounding it.

The conversation will focus on the video installation The Alchemy of Clouds – Art, Activism and Splitting Communities by the artists Nina Fischer & Maroan el Sani. It examines various forms of collective resistance and the establishing of new communities in the struggle for climate justice.

Can today’s man-made climate be restored to pre-industrial levels? What is the real basis of concern for the planet, and what technologies, infrastructures, and artifacts do we need? This talk addresses these questions through critical approaches to contemporary artistic and curatorial practices.

The FFT Foyer is not only a splendid space to wait for the start of a theatre performance. Starting now, you can also use it to simply meet people here for a drink, gather with friends, letting your day wind down. In May, and by way of exception, we will invite you to the bar on the second Tuesday of the month.

Welcome to the Cultural Breakfast at the FFT Düsseldorf. This free offer is for everyone who wants to take a look behind the scenes of independent theater and talk about it with others! Every 2nd Friday of the month we invite you to our foyer to meet artists and other guests, current topics and new plays.

Der Saal ist vorbereitet, die Gäst*innen nehmen ihre Plätze ein – nur die Gastgeber*innen fehlen noch. Die Performer*innen des preisgekrönten, inklusiven Ensembles Meine Damen und Herren stecken in verwunschenen Räumen fest – teils real, teils virtuell. Das Publikum muss sie alle befreien, damit der Ball beginnen kann!

After the ball is before the Democratic Disco. Ladies and gentlemen invite you to a dance floor where everyone can decide the music. Bring your playlist and surprise the dancers with forgotten classics or the latest hits of tomorrow.

Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese ist Filmemacher. Für seine erste Bühnenarbeit kreiert er mystische Bilder, die unter anderem fragen: Was sind afrikanische Selbstbilder und ein kollektives afrikanisches Bewusstsein jenseits von Sklaverei und Kolonialismus? Wie könnte „Ubuntu“, die afrikanische Philosophie über Freiheit und Verbundenheit in Gemeinschaften, in der globalen afrikanischen Diaspora aussehen?

Choreographers Kathrin Spaniol and Morgan Nardi again take us along for a performative walk – into the mythical and legendary Aaaper Forest this time. It becomes the site of post-apocalyptic scenarios and the exploration of the hidden world of mushrooms. We wander to the Frauensteine, eavesdropping on dystopian tales, and encounter an eerie reality – gloomy and fascinating, poetical, and disturbing.

In her concert performance Resonate!, Düsseldorf composer Miki Yui collects real tones and sounds from the theatre’s surroundings to transmute them to grand music in an improvisatory setting. She will play a subsequent solo concert evoking the co-existence of space, body, and sound with hypnotic sounds that create images and emotions in the head and the gut.

In den kommenden Monaten wird eine Gruppe von Künstler*innen, Architekt*innen und Techniker*innen rund um die Performance Plattform Rotterdam Presenta eine neue Bühne in einer alten Autowerkstatt bauen. Die Beteiligten fragen sich, das Publikum und andere Expert*innen: Wie soll der Raum aussehen, der unser Zusammenkommen bestimmt?

Rotterdam Presenta is celebrating incomplete forms for three days. Among the presentations are: The resumption of a 15-year-old choreography, the lighting rehearsal for a new piece, soundchecks, and concert rehearsals. Raue Kanten is all about encounters with uncontrollable situations, moments in which (almost) anything is still possible.
