At the Impulse-OPEN ENDS, the audience, artists and the team celebrate the end of selected festival days. DJs from the SHOWCASE productions and the local scene provide the music.
29.5., 22:30
OPEN END with the SPAfrica DJ-Team
Venue: Schauspiel Köln, Depot 2
For the opening, Ntando Cele and Julian Hetzel play dance music that celebrates the irreconcilable, stumbling across genre boundaries on the dancefloor in the proces. It’s best to wear dance shoes – or to come barefoot!
30.5., 22:30
OPEN END Liegen & Lauschen. Concert with multi-instrumentalists
Venue: TanzFaktur, Cologne
In a one-off formation, the four multi-instrumentalists Stella Polaris, Niko Dolle, Timmy Lorenz and Pippo Bracht will pool together their influences from soul, groove, folk, jazz and rock, adding a sprinkling of original songs to this laid back live session.
31.5., 22:00
OPEN END with Keshavara & Der Assistent
Venue: TanzFaktur, Cologne
Keshav Purushotham makes music like other people make cocktails after they’ve already drunk three of them: blurred krautpop, Bollywood and Morricone-esque film music, all measured by eye and shaken with abandon. In a DJ duo with Der Assistent he invites you to a phatasmorgiastic party full of transcultural clashes.
1.6., 22:00
OPEN END Party with GOLD+BETON / Meryem Erkuş
Venue: TanzFaktur, Cologne
Meryem Erkuş doesn’t just curate exhibitions in the project space GOLD+BETON on Ebertplatz, but also organises mind-blowing parties in Cologne. For the Impulse Theater Festival she has put together a line-up that will turn the TanzFaktur into a TanzKlub for one night.
7.6., 22:30
OPEN END All-Time-Impulse-Favourites with Çakey Blond
Venue: TanzFaktur, Cologne
Enjoy ten different party formats in one night with Çakey Blond! 90s, secret rave, kinky swing, kids’ birthday, Satanic mass and a Thermomix sales show are all combined in an endless series of happy hours. This “best of” compilation has something for everyone!
8.6., 22:00
OPEN END with Shaka Lion
Venue: TanzFaktur, Cologne
Chameleonic, dynamic, absorbing. Shaka Lion is a wandering spirit, an artist who mixes music with life experience in equal parts. Shaka Lion is rhythm and joy and midnight sun. He’s both what you hear and what you see.
9.6., 18:00
OPEN END Foam party with DJ Lenz, songs by Damian Rebgetz and old favourites
Venue: Ringlokschuppen Ruhr, Mülheim an der Ruhr
Foam and bubbly! After seven years with the Impulse Theater Festival, we will be popping corks and celebrating endings and new beginnings. And SCHWIMM CITY will transform into a fabulous farewell venue…
