Events in Gescher

A theatre play for people aged 4 and over about rich and poor, true friendship and the hunt for a stinking dragon

Princesses have everything. They are loved by everyone. Being a princess is great, isn't it? No!!! Being a princess is terribly exhausting: always sitting still and straight, smiling regally and bowing, or practising spoon times tables. Princess Tilly doesn't want to do that any more.

One day Tonja, the daughter of a knight, gets lost in Tilly's room - an exciting adventure begins for both of them as they battle the roaring and stinking dragon. By recognising each other's strengths and weaknesses, a courageous and unusual friendship develops between the two unequal girls.

Whether poetry, comedy, cabaret or storytelling. Whether short story or poem, read, shouted or whispered - anything that comes from your own pen and fits into a narrow time slot of six minutes may be performed.

Word artists compete with their texts for the audience's favour and the Golden Bell. The winner at the end of the evening is decided solely by the loudest applause, which will impressively disprove the prejudice of the stubborn Westphalians.

The evening in the theatre and concert hall will be hosted by Marian Heuser. The event is being organised in cooperation with WoW Poetry Slam and the city of Gescher.

The ultimate improv show is not short on speed and quirky ideas.

No time to be polite. We start straight away, short and crisp:

In a language of your choice.

In the genre of your choice.

With your own or someone else's voice.

With changing emotions.

With music, songs and dancing.

In rhyme or prose.

For us, ultimate improv means: We play what you want. Just 5-4-3-2-1 seconds and off we go. Every scene is unique - unrehearsed, never before and never to be seen again. We promise!
