On the occasion of the FFT anniversary, a student group went looking for traces. What documents, which memories are left behind after 25 years of boundary-breaking theatre between performance, digitisation, institution, and Düsseldorf urban space, between discourse and artistic practice, between play and seriousness, between curation and collaboration?

Vom Durchgangsort zum Begegnungsort (From a Transitory Space to a Meeting Place)

Family-friendly activities
as part of 25 Years of FFT

The square in front of the KAP1 is busy throughout the day, with people who want to rest or who work in the vicinity, asking for directions, or look for a place to play. How could this square become a space wherein people not only linger but actually feel comfortable in? The FFT and its cooperation partners want to create opportunities to shape ideas on being together in the train station neighbourhood.
