IMPROCUP 2024

Festival of theater improvisation

We continue our 2024 theme of a "Blind Date with Europe" by inviting new performers to the TiB House of Europe. IMPROCUP 2024 will feature 5 Guest Artists from the wide world of European Impro, all unique and bold Improvisers, who have inspired and intrigued us with their humor, style, and approach to Improvisational Theater.

DYNAMIC DUOs - Blind Dates with Impro!
The central idea of IMPROCUP 2024 is to work in Duos with our guests. Each very special guest will be paired up with a very special performer from TiB, to create their Dynamic Duo show. These shows promise to be remarkable, as each team will work on their own theme to create a new theatrical experience. Music. Silence. Politics. Literature. Genre. The Personal is the Universal.

Theater is always evolving and adapting, and improvisational theater is our living laboratory. We can follow our curiosity and test our hypotheses every night. When we collaborate with new people at a Festival, we explore new territory and advance our studies at an exponential rate. The Audience gets to watch Artists experience their theatrical theories in real time. The results can be funny, touching, thrilling.

Anja Balzer (Germany)
Raschid Daniel-Sidgi (Germany/Sudan)
