SPIELARTEN Festival

The Spielarten Festival from October 6 to 10 in Cologne is more than just a collection of plays; it is a vibrant microcosm of social and artistic encounters. As part of a decentralized festival spanning ten cities in NRW, Cologne offers a platform for dialogue-promoting theater productions for a young audience. The festival invites children, teenagers, and families to engage with societal questions in the open spaces of the theater. The complementary and diverse productions reflect the complexity of the independent theater scene and enable participation through an approach that is not only aesthetic but also contentually informative on current topics. In a time of change, the festival remains a place where cultural cohesion becomes tangibly experienceable, supported by the committed funding required to realize such integrative art projects. Thus, the theater becomes a space that strengthens democratic values and builds societal bridges.
