The program will be full and packed with wonderful stuff: national and international acts and performances of theatre in open spaces, live music, singer-/songwriter, Poetry Slam, Readers Corner, Open Air Cinema, Free-Cabaret-Space, Workshops, Trainings, the Market, tasty foods and delicious drinks.

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: catering, attending artists and audience, maintaining the festival area and the community, decorating... and afterwards, everything should be built down again!
Each year we will offer more than 60 places for international volunteers in summer and 25 places in September for female* volunteers. This is why we decided to give the chance to people who are interested not only in a cultural and social exchange, but also in theatre, in our projects, and last but not least, who are interested in community living!
Furthermore, we are looking for competent and enthusiastic people could like to take over some duties, e.g you could get responsibility of a main area to lead groups of volunteers as well as you could share your ideas and enthusiasm!
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 our summer festival we expect around 100 Volunteers, helpers and artists from around the world living in our house. At the festival place there will additionaly be 300 volunteers from Frankfurt helping us out.

Hébergement
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. Every day breakfast is taken in our house kitchen and for lunch and dinner we have a big VIP tent on our festival area or at our house.
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.
Autres infos...
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.
It’s not allowed to take, bring or deal with any illegal drugs in our area
