RAMPE

RAMPE is a production house for theatre, performance, dance, and music. Contemporary and experimental theatrical formats, aesthetics and working methods are created here. Performances in urban spaces, wide-ranging collaborations and participatory neighborhood projects promote exchange with various social actors. RAMPE in Stuttgart provides a stage for the diversity of contemporary theatre positions. As part of co-productions, guest performances and residencies, national and international artists present themselves at RAMPE and create artistic connections that give important impulses to the Stuttgart theater scene. Collaborations with initiatives and institutions in the city and the region are an integral part of the program. RAMPE is a venue, meeting place and long-term cooperation partner for many local groups and collectives. The theater is housed in the depot of  what is known familiarly as the “Zacke”, a cogwheel train that pulls into the foyer every evening to park overnight.
In 2019, RAMPE was awarded the German Federal Theatrer Prize.
RAMPE also organizes 6 TAGE FREI (“6 days free”), a festival of independent performing arts sponsored by the city of Stuttgart and the state of Baden-Württemberg, which takes place every two years. RAMPE is a non-profit organization and receives institutional support from by the city of Stuttgart and the state of Baden-Württemberg.

Following  a change in the artistic directorship, RAMPE is currently undergoing the process of formulating a mission statement, which we will inform you of here as soon as possible.
