The Ost-West-AG is an NGO. The AG is interested in connections and disconnections between East and West and is actively involved. In Düsseldorf - the West German twin city of this year's European Capital of Culture Chemnitz - it brings together artists from the Ruhr, Rhineland, Saxony, Thuringia and Berlin: They argue and cook, disagree, sing and ask questions, connect with artistic activism from East and West Germany, provide first-hand information about the Radical Decree, celebrate punk and perform protest songs. Their program is intended to be one for a better society, and they invite you to be part of it - in the middle of the city. The Ost-West-AG is stable.

The Ost-West-AG is an NGO. The group's interest lies in connections and the lack of them between East and West, and takes an active involvement. In Düsseldorf - the West German partner city of this year's European Capital of Culture Chemnitz - they bring artists together from the Ruhr region, the Rhineland, Saxony, Thuringia and Berlin: they argue and cook, disagree, sing and ask why, ally themselves with artistic activism from East and West Germany, gain first-hand knowledge of the Radicals Decree, celebrate punk and play protest songs. Their program is intended to be one for a better society and they invite you to take part - in the middle of the city. The Ost-West-AG is stable.

IMPULSE FESTIVAL FOR PERFORMANCE, THEATER & DANCE

On three long festival weekends - one each in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Cologne and Düsseldorf - outstanding productions of the independent scene from Germany, Austria and Switzerland will be presented.
