Ruhrtriennale 2010

Migration – Searching for the Path 

In the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum artistic director Willy Decker presented the programme for the Ruhrtriennale 2010.

Tickets are now on sale for the 130 performances in the sites of our industrial heritage in Bochum, Essen, Duisburg, Gladbeck and Mülheim.  Alongside our own creations and world premieres, the Triennale will also present national and international visiting productions, concerts, readings, symposia and a small film festival from 20^th August to 10^th October.

This year’s artistic voyage of discovery, entitled Migration – Searching for the Path, explores the world of Islamic thinking and traces a line from the roots of ancient Islamic mysticism and myth to contemporary issues in this culture which is in some respects familiar and yet often very foreign.

“Our path is a spiritual pilgrimage using the tools of art and sets out across the wide, open and to us nevertheless frequently inaccessible landscape of Islamic culture.”
