Freundeskreis
The Friends of the Ruhrtriennale is a community of people interested in the arts who want to actively shape the festival and experience the cultural landscape of the region together. The Friends of the Ruhrtriennale share a passion for the artistic creations of their festival - from music theatre to drama and performance to dance, concerts and visual arts.
As a support association, the Freundeskreis is committed to the Ruhrtriennale and its artists and promotes the realisation of selected festival productions. Through ticket sponsorships, the association is committed to providing access to the festival for a diverse audience. Another central topic is to communicate the festival programme to young people and students.
Become part of the community and benefit from advantages such as early information about the festival programme, exclusive advance ticket purchase rights and invitations to rehearsals and other events. Take the opportunity to get to know the festival makers personally and exchange ideas with other arts enthusiasts!
