About the Stadtensemble
Since 2018, cultural professionals from Münster have formed a fluid collective of artists: the Stadtensemble. The impetus came from the cross-theatre city project "24 Stunden Münster", initiated by the actresses Carola v. Seckendorff and Cornelia Kupferschmid. Since then, 131 artists have alternated in smaller and larger projects in the city ensemble.
(Ge)Dicht an die Nacht takes place as part of the cross-city-country project Stadt.Land.Bühne.
