Improvisation, fun and surprises: The Wild West in the circus tent!

Something is happening in Munich! Next Saturday, July 19th, citizens can expect a very special event: the improvisation theater “Improvisation on the Quarter” will be performed in the circus tent of the district weeks on Belandwiesenweg. Organized by the GRETE cultural center, it is about more than just a performance - here the topics, ideas and perspectives of people from the districts of Aubing, Lochhausen, Langwied, Neuaubing, Westkreuz and the new district of Freiham come to life.

The concept is simple but ingenious: The fast food improvisation theater will create magical, crazy and humorous scenes using changing photo backdrops from the aforementioned districts. Led by Kerstin Jost, head of GRETE, the event promises to be a colorful and creative evening. Surprise guests from different corners of the district are also invited, who are sure to provide additional highlights.

Community and visions in focus

The event is the highlight of the district week in Aubing-Lochhausen-Langwied, which aims to strengthen cooperation and promote creative visions for the future. “How do we want to make things beautiful for ourselves together?” asks the new cultural center GRETE, which also opened in Freiham. The aim is to present spontaneous scenes and improvised songs that bring the Midsummer Night's Dream into reality.

GRETE's approach is reflected in the cultural space, which is considered the basis for positive urban development. According to a UNESCO article, culture is not only a source of creative inspiration, but also contributes significantly to economic development and social cohesion. Cities that have art at their core promote quality of life and identity. These concepts are important not only for the large metropolises, but also for the thriving districts in Munich.

The role of art and culture in urban development

UNESCO emphasizes that the inclusion of cultural aspects in urban planning is a key to a city worth living in. Culture can act as a stimulus for peace and social cohesion. Cultural diversity is growing in the west of Munich and creates an environment in which creative minds can develop. Integrated urban planning that takes culture into account can help preserve identity while pursuing modern development approaches.

Festival visitors can look forward to an evening full of surprises and shared visions. The event on July 19th is a wonderful opportunity to rediscover your own district in a creative way and strengthen the community in the process. With that in mind – off to the circus tent!
