    Last update : we will open the registration for our next activity on the 1st of April 2026 (for the festival planned for May)


    If you are interested in theatre, music, dance, performance and all that it takes to realise that, but ALSO in living a community lifestyle, then this is the place for you to be!

    WHO ARE WE?
    We are an association, a cultural space organising many events and festivals in public spaces, aiming at spreading culture freely and for all.
    We are also a theatre group of 20 people producing physical theatre and touring internationally. We live in the same community and house, share our life, our work and our "crazy" dreams for many years.

    EVERY YEAR WE PROPOSE 4 ACTIVITIES FOR INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERS

    1. FESTIVALS in the Region:
    Every year in May, the cultural association organises three micro-theatre-festivals in three different villages of the region of Hessen. Each micro festival lasts only 3 days, but volunteers can stay for the whole duration of the project (2 to 3 weeks). This project is our smallest and the volunteering team counts less than 10 places.
    Application for volunteers is in April.

    2. THE INTERNATIONAL THEATRE FESTIVAL
    Our biggest project. It is an international theatre festival in the city center of Frankfurt am Main taking place every summer for 17 days of program. Theatre, dance, concerts, workshops, symposium and gatherings.
    Every year the application for volunteers opens in April for 60 volunteers to join the association for a month (usually mid-July til mid-August).

    3. THE EQUALITY THEATRE FESTIVAL
    This is a festival of one week usually at the end of September. It has a feministic and intersectional approach and aim at creating visibility and equality in the world of theatre. This festival takes place in our community itself. There is a dense workshop and shows/concerts program, and about 15 female* volunteers are welcome to join us for two weeks every September.
    Please note that for this festival, application for volunteers only opens in July every year.

    4. THE LABORATORY FESTIVAL
    This is a laboratory and festival happening in January/February. This is 3 weeks of theatre laboratory and the weekends are opened to the public. Only a few volunteers can come for this event.
    The application for volunteers opens every year in November.

    Artistically: volunteers can take part into artistic workshops for free, attend shows, symposiums and concerts.
    Culturally: volunteers share the same house with people of very different background and nationality.

    About our festivals: From an almost empty space to a vibrant festival with art acts, theatre tent, beduine-tent, life music and various stages – someone`s got to do that…During the festival there is help appreciated in front of the stage as well as behind:, attending artists and audience, maintaining the festival area and the community, decorating... and afterwards, everything should be built down again!

    Each year we give the chance to people who are interested not only in a cultural and social exchange, but also in theatre, in our projects, and of course, ready to dive into community living.

    The people organising the festival are living in a community, living an alternative lifestyle. You will be living and working together with the performers/actors collective. During all our big festivals we expect around 100 people in our community, helpers and artists from around the world living in our house.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We are a community living together. It’s important to be considerate to each others, clean up after ourself and leave community areas nice and tidy. We ask for 5 hours of help per day, five days a week, two days off in exchange for food and board.

    You will be living together with the ensemble at the collective space in Frankfurt, about 20 min from Frankfurt Main station by public transport. We all live in wagons, old busses and caravans. Volunteers will be in shared rooms (3 to 7 people per room). Living and working in community are essential components in this working camp and the festival is the main angle: You will be welcome to help, dance, cook, celebrate, wonder, grow and exchange.
    Also possible are excursions to the nearby cities of Mainz, Cologne or Heidelberg.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The whole festivals are held and organised by our independent theatre and performance group, living and working come along hand in hand. The ensemble consists of members from all over the world, who use methods of physical theatre, dance, acrobatics, stilts, improvisation, live music, fire performance... and make theatre happen in open spaces – worldwide. Theatre is brought back where it comes from and belongs to - into the heart of our society, into public spaces, for everyone to see and get involved.
