Stories are sources of magic that never run dry. There are no limits to the imagination on the improvisational theater stage. Countless adventures, life situations and touching moments await the actors and the audience. All the stories are already there, they just have to be grasped by the actors. This form of theater encourages and challenges the players’ self-confidence in their own abilities in interaction with others. It is an intense experience of constantly experiencing oneself and others anew and crossing one’s own boundaries in a seemingly playful way.

7.30 pm – Performance
Together with pianist and silent film improviser Ashley Hribar(The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, Buster Keaton Alive) , the “Improkokken” will open the 2026 ImproVision series at Villa Seligmann: in four events from March to November, the passion for musical improvisation will continue to burn with a firework of ideas and inspiration. After the 2024 and 2025 pocket festivals, which focused on the unknown dimension of piano improvisation, the spark now jumps to other artistic genres and sensual experiences. With drama, dance, chocolate and light (speed), everything remains in motion and sharpens the “three senses of Villa Seligmann”, hearing, seeing and tasting:
