Literature and stage
Language, dance and theatre programme
The Capital of Culture will showcase the best performances. Whether caberet or ballet, drama or readings: 2010 will raise the curtain on ambitious and inspiring plays, readings and dance. There are sure to be some great performances.
For bookworms
In the land of poets and philosophers, culture without literature is completely unthinkable, and therefore prose and poetry are being combined on stage in 2010. Whether at the Slam2010, in school literature projects, or year long reading series - the power of the written word will be well represented in Essen at RUHR.2010.
Theatre, Theatre
In 2010, actors will be coming from near and far to perform on Essen's stages: On the largest and the smallest stages in the city, at a theatre festival or a small-scale production in front of a classroom - every performer will give their all. Their reward? Your appreciation and applause.
Essen - City of Dance
Our year as the Capital of Culture will showcase Essen's reputation as the 'city of dance'. PACT Zollverein and the Aalto are just two of many good reasons for a visit: In 2010, you can enjoy an ambitious programme for the art of dance - whether classical ballet, or modern dance, there will surely be something to interest you.
Anticipation
In 2010, the Capital of Culture stages will produce amazing performances. Don't hold back with your applause and don't delay if you have a chance to come. Otherwise you'll miss something unique!
