Tobias Staab is co-founder and curator of Dive, a festival for digital art that took place for the second time at the Planetarium in Bochum and the Schauspielhaus Bochum in November 2021. We talked with Staab about the pull of immersion, its current relevance and the role of art.

With this programme, the Ministry of Culture wants to promote forward-looking art forms, especially digital arts, electronic music, contemporary circus and urban art, and open up new spaces for artistic experimentation.

Sabeth Dannenberg is a performer. In her pieces she combines the genres of New Circus and Physical Theatre. She tells us about the charm of the people in the region and how this affects her artistic practice.
