Ruhrtriennale Freundeskreis & Club.Ruhr

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 has been committed to the Ruhrtriennale since 2005 and supports the realisation of selected festival productions as well as special activities to communicate the programme to a young audience.

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!
