The war in Ukraine moves us Impro-Gorillas (@diegorillasberlin ) and the staff of the Ratibor (@ratibortheater )as many people in our city. Of course, we also join those who express their solidarity and sympathy with Ukraine. And because many others have already done so, we do not list here again all the links to people and organizations that support Ukraine, but refer to the very informative page of the Tagesspiegel.

tagesspiegel.de/berlin/support-searched-how-berliners-can-help-the-ukrainers-and-what-is-meaningful-now/28109110.html

There are many ways to get active: Offering accommodations, helping those who have arrived in everything that is pending for them. What else can we do as theater makers with our modest means?

Of course, refugees have free admission to our theater. We would be happy if people, after the horrors and efforts of their flight, could find a little strength and comfort in our theater and perhaps meet people among our great visitors and us theater makers with whom they can make contacts in a city that is foreign to them. Certainly the language is a hurdle, but we believe that our kind of theater can reach the hearts of people who do not speak German or English (at the Impro Embassy and during our festival 29.3.-3.4.).

We are aware that it is unlikely that we will reach refugees through this website or our social media. That's why it would be great if you who are reading this, pass this on like this when you are in contact with refugees. And of course this applies to all refugees from all countries of the world.

Gerlando or better known as Gilly Alfeo (Gilly Alfeo ) is one of the biggest supporter of our festival. Since about ten years he is doing phantastic music at the IMPRO. So, do not miss it: he will host a workshop on sunday.

Same story for Keng-Sam (Les Mardis de L'Impro ) than for Charlotte (Charlotte Gittins ). Should have had his stage premiere at the »IMPRO 2020«. No need to tell again what happened, rather looking forward to March. :)

And, on a side note, google La Réunion Island where Keng-Sam comes from. We were shortly tempted to move the festival there.
Well, Berlin is nice in spring, too. (At least this is what people say) ;)

Dear community,

it is with a heavy heart that we announce that due to the developing virus situation we had to make the decision to cancel all festival activities. We are working on the follow-up with all affected artists, workshop participants and audience and will reach out to you asap via email.

Thank you for your understanding,
the festival team
