Portrait des Düsseldorfer Oberbürgermeisters Dr. Stephan Keller

“Once again, festival directors Christiane Oxenfort and Andreas Dahmen and their team have succeeded in organising a festival that inspires and makes you think.”

Portrait

“The two festival organisers, Christiane Oxenfort and Andreas Dahmen, demonstrated a seismographic feel for forward-looking art forms early on, which we also support as a state. With New Circus and Urban Dance, they have been able to score points with audiences year after year and make the festival an increasingly established fixture in North Rhine-Westphalia.”

Ina Brandes, Minister for Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (2023)

“As an annual event, the Düsseldorf Festival! not only attracts local artists and cultural professionals, but also presents international talent in the fields of theatre, music, dance and visual arts. The festival offers a diverse platform for innovative and contemporary art forms that enrich the city’s cultural landscape.”

Clara Gerlach, Mayor City of Düsseldorf (2023)

We are happy about every donation

Despite great sponsors and long-standing partners, as a non-profit organisation we are dependent on donations.

Auch in der 34. Festivalsaison erleben wir internationale Produktionen, treffen auf alte Bekannte und lernen spannende Neuentdeckungen kennen. Gerade in einer Zeit, in der es scheint, als seien Leichtigkeit, Sorglosigkeit, Neugier und Unbeschwertheit nicht in greifbarer Nähe, tut es gut, sich den schönen Dingen zu widmen. Und diese wollen wir mit Ihnen teilen. Wir können so viel meistern, wenn wir zusammenhalten. Solidarität, Respekt und die Liebe zur Vielfalt ist das, was uns verbindet – und was unser Programm beeinflusst. Elf international hochkarätige Highlights haben wir für Sie ausgewählt.
