In the organizer's words:

From May 3 to 4, 2025, Leipzig will be playing through! Together with improv groups from the city, we at Improberaum Leipzig are organizing a 24-hour improv theater marathon - one stage, non-stop improvisation and lots of energy!

We start on May 3 at 3 pm and play until May 4 at 3 pm!

Every hour there's a new show with different groups! Come along and experience improv theater in all its facets.

The program

May 3rd

3pm - 4pm - Opening show by and with Improberaum Leipzig
We open the marathon with our show and look forward to improvising with you for 24 hours!

4-5 pm - Open Stage 🎭
Whether registered or spontaneously dropped by, everyone can join in and try out improv

5-6 pm - In the last consequence
One little cue - and off we go with stories, wild scenes and great fun. We let unique characters emerge and invite amazement to take a seat with you.

6-7 p.m. - Dialects 🎭
From Saxon to Swabian, from Viennese to Low German - we bring you an improv spectacle with charm and accent!

7-8 p.m. - Simple & poignant and all-inclusive - The park bench
One place, countless stories - people come, linger, move on, but the bench stays and listens. Experience a day full of fleeting encounters, quiet moments and great emotions - all improvised, all unique.

8-9 p.m. - Impro Musical
Theater without music? Without us! Here everything is sung, rhymed and musically staged.

9-10 p.m. - English Improv Leipzig
You don't understand German or are bored by the sound of it, but you love theater? No problem! Come and watch an English Improv Show.

10pm-2pm - Pantomime 🎭
Performing improv without speaking, just with your body? Is that even possible? Let's find out together!

11 pm - 2 pm - All Inclusive - Shortly before twelve
With an entertaining short format just before 12, we'll provide a brief dose of enthusiasm on a short night. Because brevity is the spice of life.

May 4th

24-1 o'clock - Ü18-Show 🎭
We've all woken up at night in front of the TV and not known whether to switch off or laugh. We're all about the latter. Dark humor, sharp punchlines and improv that dares - not for the faint-hearted!

1-2 pm - Action & Drama - Improv in a bathrobe
You want to play improv in a bathrobe. For you. They also have sound effects with them. For you. They want to find out what can happen in an hour. With you.

2-3 o'clock - Crime, horror, thriller 🎭
What should not be missing at a sleepover party? That's right! Scary material.

3-4 o'clock - Ends differently - The expert podcast - live recording
Everything here is improvised - before the microphone goes on, none of us know who will be our guest today and what will happen next. And above all, how it will end.

4-5 o'clock - Bob Ross 🎭
"We don't make mistakes, only happy accidents happen to us." A creative improv experiment with artistic flair!

5-6 o'clock - Dreams 🎭
What did we experience that night? What will we still be dreaming about when the 24 hours are long gone? Between nightmares, daydreams and weird dream images, we enter a world in which anything is possible - and nothing has to make sense.

6-7 o'clock - Naturalistic improv 🎭
Very close to reality - improv without exaggeration, but with a lot of feeling

7-8 a.m. - Black powder - the free scene hour! 🎭
Schwarzpulver are special lovers of the almost royal discipline of improv theater - the completely free scene. Come and experience what happens when we roll away the safety nets of the game rules and experience improv in perhaps its purest form!

8-9 a.m. - Early sports - warm-up games 🎭
We get ready for the final spurt and warm up properly! - Impro-style

9-10 a.m. - Cheerful failure 🎭
Improv with ease, joy and the courage to fail - come along and fail cheerfully with us!

10-12 am - Breakfast television 🎭
Good morning Leipzig! Improvised breakfast TV with gossip, gossip and the weather report.

12-13 o'clock - Matinée 🎭
Entertainment at lunchtime - improv for connoisseurs.

1 pm - 2 pm - Romance 🎭
Love - the greatest happiness of our lives. It lifts us to seventh heaven and can bring us back down to earth just as quickly. The whole range of human emotions in one hour!

2pm - 3pm - Finale - Open Stage 🎭
On stage with the last of our strength - a worthy finale to 24 hours of improv!
