as part of Impulse Festival 2025

03.07. – 06.07.2025

For more than 30 years, the NRW KULTURsekretariat’s Impulse has been one of the most important festivals for the independent theatre scene in the German-speaking world. Impulse has often reinvented itself and thus also reflects developments in the independent performing arts. What remains constant: The festival presents noteworthy productions of the year from Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH region) and thus gives visibility to the outstanding works of the independent theatre scene.

Die Ost-West-AG is an NGO. It is interested in connections and the lack of them between East and West, and takes an active involvement. In Düsseldorf – the West German partner city of this year’s European Capital of Culture Chemnitz – they bring artists together from the Ruhr region, the Rhineland, Saxony, Thuringia and Berlin: they argue and cook, disagree, sing and ask why, ally themselves with artistic activism from East and West Germany, gain first-hand knowledge of the Radicals Decree, celebrate punk and play protest songs. Their programme is intended to be one for a better society and they invite you to take part – in the middle of the city. Die Ost-West-AG is stable.
