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

Let's remember some highlights of the shows at IMPRO 2019! We picked out some photos to bring you back to some beautiful moments. You can see the wonderful Rama dying last, after a big family drama and the two men thinking about building up intrigues with no happy end in „Not by Shakespeare“. Or the fascination from our Berlin women Konstanze about a shoe from the audience at „Theatersport“. In „Meta Impro“ the strong, breathtaking and very personal question and answer round with Maja, Rama and Felipe – aaand „Whos there“ we dont know who Robert and Olga are looking at but wow - what a picture of strong characters from strong artists!

07/04/2019

They say 'the key to success is to start before you are ready' and that's why our festival worked out so well. The wonderful Hotel Die Fabrik hosted our international guests for 10 nights and one base for these good shows and workshops was the sleep quality of our artists :)
