Our team

The Düsseldorf Festival is known among Düsseldorfers for the white theater tent on Burgplatz and the diverse and special program.

However, many processes take place in the background until the actual festival takes place. The festival office on Bolkerstraße is at the heart of the preparations.

A permanent team of 6 people work in the festival office all year round. In addition, some of the freelancers also work with us throughout the year.
