Ruhrtriennale (Canceled due to concerns over the new coronavirus, will partially be held online)

Taking three years as one season, this festival is held annually since 2002 in the industrial city of Bochum and others in the Ruhr region of western Germany. The founder and first artistic director of the festival was Gerard Mortier, former artistic director of the Salzburg Music Festival and the National Opera of Paris. Based on the idea of connecting the industrial monuments of the Ruhr region with an international arts festival, former giant machining halls and coking plants were renovated to become innovative performance venues. Each year a new theme is chosen for a program of cutting-edge works of theater, dance, opera, jazz, pop music and fine arts. There is a change in the festival director once every three years. The festival’s director from 2006 to 2008 was theater director Jürgen Flimm, who served as the theater department director of the Salzburg Music Festival. From 2009 to 2011, theater director Willy Decker served as the festival director For the 2012-14 season the artistic director was the composer and director Heiner Goebbels. From 2015 the new director is Johan Simons, former director at one of Germany’s leading public theaters, Münchner Kammerspiele. From 2018, the new artistic director is Stefanie Carp.
