The art collective Hollow embodies the shared hallucinations of Viktor Szeri (dance, choreography), Tamás Páll (media art, game design), and Gyula Muskovics (text, curating). Hollow develops immersive environments and cross-reality experiences in theater and exhibition contexts, combining dance, sound, gaming, and digital technology, poetry, and live-action role-playing. Their artistic works represent "world prototypes" that challenge prevailing regimes and what is consensually accepted as reality. Their themes range from queer cruising, hyperspace, millennial cults, radicalization of the gaming subculture and eco-anxiety, as well as nature as a black box to walking as a psychoactive substance.

Still Moving invites you into a space where instinctive physicality meets linguistic thinking through the use of Mixed Reality (MR). The project is part of the larger series Held in Human and explores the significance of presence and "being in the body" in a contemporary world where technology significantly expands and mediates the human experience.
Equipped with a transparent VR headset that allows for both physical and digital navigation, the performer - which can also be the audience - enters a movable thought space. We invite up to three spectators at the same time to offer their bodies for the performative installation. Each participant brings their unique physicality, imagination, and interpretation, contributing to an evolving choreographic language and an inclusive dramaturgy.

“Off to the VACATION!" is the motto of the new stage show by REIS AGAINST THE SPÜLMACHINE. In the fourth concert program of the music-comedy duo, everything revolves around the theme of vacation. “We have a vacation playlist that we want to use to invite our audience to a two-hour short vacation,” explains Hanke Blendermann the concept.

The duo has been known for many years across Germany for their captivating stage show and their worldwide hits with humor - brilliantly funny song parodies with catchy tune guarantee.

Whether AC/DC or Blümchen, whether ballad or rock song - Philipp Kasburg and Hanke Blendermann prove their musical range and navigate confidently through all genres with two-part arrangements and interactive entertainment.

In doing so, the trained musicians present unexpectedly funny lyrics: The Beach Boys go “Drinking by a lake” and Westernhagen lives “Without villas” on the street.

VACATION has much new material to offer, but also popular evergreens like the millions-clicked hit "Have you tried drinking?" will not be missing on this journey. Philipp Kasburg promises: “We offer 5-star entertainment - All Inclusive. VACATION is the ideal feel-good place for all who just want to celebrate and laugh together in a completely carefree and unburdened way.” Blendermann recommends: “Take a dip in the crowd, lay the towel on the deck chair, and book your tickets today for unforgettable vacation moments!”

The British-American band WARRIOR SOUL – known, among other things, for their tours with Metallica, Dio, and Queensrÿche in the 1990s, as well as for heavy rotation on MTV – is back with profane sermons delivered at breakneck speed and maximum volume. This is exactly what the new album is about.

The legendary fifth album by Warrior Soul, "Space Age Playboys," was recently named by Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich as one of his five favorite albums of all time. The current work "Out on Bail" is a powerful statement from Kory Clarke and Warrior Soul. Clarke is considered one of the last true rock 'n' roll frontmen and has been swimming against the current of mediocrity and safe rebellion since the classic "Last Decade Dead Century" from 1990.

The current album "Out on Bail" was released in the autumn of 2022 and is accompanied by EU tours in 2023 and 2024. A new album is currently in the works.

Doors open at 6:00 PM.

The Best of Hans Zimmer
in Concert
Large Orchestra, Soloists & Choir of the Cinema Festival Symphonics
Artistic Direction: Stephen Ellery

Powerful. Beautiful. Breathtaking. This is how the music of two-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer can be described. His most famous melodies, from the heroic power of “Gladiator” to the deeply moving harmonies of “The Lion King,” from the melancholic “Rain Man” to the nerve-wracking “Inception,” impressively demonstrate Zimmer’s gift for leading listeners directly to the heart of the film stories.
Zimmer's sense of epic storytelling and his fine feel for the emotional depth of each scene have secured him a permanent place in the hearts of music lovers and moviegoers. His music is much more than a collection of beautiful melodies – it is a universal language that touches, inspires, and connects.
“The Best of Hans Zimmer in Concert” is a tribute to the masterful film composer whose work stands for emotion and goosebumps. The ensemble of soloists, choir, and large orchestra of the Cinema Festival Symphonics masterfully interprets the world of unforgettable compositions that have been shaking cinema halls and making hearts beat for years.
From the imposing intensity of “Pirates of the Caribbean” to the futuristic sound world of “Inception,” the large orchestra, the soloists, and the choir provide an essential experience for fans of film music. Epic and dramatic, as the first notes of “The Dark Knight” fill the room. Tension and action flow through the hall as the powerful sounds of “Mission Impossible” captivate the audience.
Every note that resonates through the concert hall allows the guests to immerse themselves in worlds of film music. The epic and dramatic compositions are enhanced by a breathtaking backdrop of synchronized screen animations and light effects.
“The Best of Hans Zimmer in Concert” is a unique experience full of monumental moments that remain memorable for a long time. A true spectacle that puts Hans Zimmer’s musical triumphs in the spotlight in an impressive and passionate way.

Residencies enable artists to work on the unexpected, promote processes, and create synergies and partnerships. Through the residency funding of the Fonds Darstellende Künste in cooperation with the Alliance of International Production Houses, 21 artists and collectives had the opportunity to experiment and practically test new concepts. Now all participants are invited to reflect and exchange ideas in Düsseldorf.
For two days, experiences will be shared at FFT and tanzhaus nrw, work processes will be reflected upon, and perspectives will be discussed – in workshops, conversations, and at an artistically framed dinner. The shared space focuses on curiosity and solidarity rather than competition and is also open to guests: representatives from other residency locations and interested professionals are warmly invited.

DUDES OF CHAOS
Our songs are sticks of dynamite that we throw into the audience. And the ensuing chaos can only be controlled by us.. How? With a fat Marshall guitar sound, with a bass that would normally require 3 bass players, with a 3-octave voice, and a drummer who proves that vegan drumming is complete nonsense.. Having been active in the Düsseldorf music scene for decades, the DUDES were founded in 2018 because there is a mission: All the great bands out there who live true, real rock music need our support! The beautiful, the loud, the pure must not become quieter! And here we are: Guitar - Bass - Guitar - Vocals - Drums and BANG - 100 years of stage experience blows your mind with dry, driving, new, and surprising songs and makes you weep with gratitude.. DUDES OF CHAOS - we have a mission!

MEAN ELLEES
The Mean Ellees from Düsseldorf have already played everything in the area that hasn’t closed the door fast enough in their three young years of band history. From the music pub to the big festival, from the boat tour to the small garden, everything was there. The energy-packed joy of playing is infectious, and the fun the four have on stage quickly transfers to their audience. On their upcoming album 'All You Can Eat', they present you with a total of twelve songs made from the finest, collaborative head and handwork. Get ready for anthems and catchy tunes about favorite clubs, heartache, drinking joy, unwelcome macho types, and everything else that occupies you.

BROWNSVILLE BOYS
Of course! When it comes to heavy-stoner Rock’n’Roll dressed in 30s outfits, I think of an energetic band that has a lot of fun on stage. The music is inspired by the rebellious and wild atmosphere of the 1930s, with a touch of vintage flair but in the thick deep sound of rock’n’roll… always moving forward. Think of driving guitar riffs, captivating drum beats, and powerful vocal performances. The boys are hot, ready to engage the audience and provide an unforgettable live show. It’s about capturing the essence of rock’n’roll and merging it with the unique style of Peaky Blinders without taking themselves too seriously.
