After decades, we have revived our concert series NEUE TÖNE – this time as NEUE elektronische TÖNE. The effort was well worth it: the audience was enthusiastic, and we received numerous encouraging responses. The Rheinische Post and O-Ton praised our work, and the TEMPLUM Düsseldorf proved to be the ideal venue. It was a particular pleasure for the composers to be able to present their music in their home town – something that, unfortunately, can no longer be taken for granted in Düsseldorf.
>>> CHALLENGE: The financial and organisational effort is almost impossible to manage with our own resources. Without a budget for professional event technicians, our small team had to do everything ourselves. Nevertheless, the positive response encourages us to continue.
The creative fire continues to burn! Our new dance theatre piece is being created under the choreographic direction of Jacqueline Fischer and in collaboration with J.U. Lensing (direction and music).
THE PROJECT: Since mid-October, an all-female ensemble of performers has been working on the development of this production. The piece is based on intensive research in three European coastal regions:
• ERMIONI, GREECE (2025) Mediterranean traditions and female identities
• BILBAO, BASQUE COUNTRY (2025) Atlantic coastal realities
ARTISTIC VISION: ‘Coastal Identity – Mermaid Echoes’ explores the complex realities of life for women in European coastal regions. How do geographical and cultural characteristics shape the identity of coastal women?
The piece translates interviews, rituals and personal stories into a poetic dance language, allowing universal experiences to be felt emotionally.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION: • Advance ticket sales start: expected to be 1 December 2025 • Detailed project information: available on our website from mid-November • Location: TEMPLUM Düsseldorf • Premiere: 15 January 2026
While we are working flat out on ‘Coastal Identity – Mermaid Echoes’, we are already looking forward to January 2026 and welcoming you to TEMPLUM Düsseldorf!
