Content

In 1973, Düsseldorf had the Schauspielhaus, the opera, the Kommödchen, the Komödie and the Düsseldorfer Kammerspiele. ZAKK, tanzhaus nrw or a Forum Freies Theater were just as unthinkable at that time as a Junges Theater in the Altstadt, a Werkstatt or a Theaterhaus. At that time, theater and dance only took place in the big theaters, in the aforementioned private theaters or as amateur theater performances in school auditoriums or community halls. In the course of the 1970s, but especially since the beginning of the 1980s, an independent theater and dance scene developed in the city of Düsseldorf that is second to none. This is the as yet unwritten history of this scene with names such as Theater Jhawemirc, Theater der Klänge, Theater Kontra-Punkt, Neuer Tanz, Half Past Selber Schuld, Cooperativa Maura Morales, Asphalt Festival and many more.
