About us:

The Cairo offers events and different cultural & education programms. Under the guidance of a team of professionals, the volunteers receive a perfect framework in which they can organise concerts, readings, theater or cinematic nights on a professional basis. The decisions, concerning which events are to be promoted at the Cairo, are exclusively made by our volunteers and their groups they are working in. Although mainly bands rooted in our region do perform here, more and more foreign and international successful bands find their way to the Cairo.

We also offer two different workshops in extra rooms: a photolaboratory and a pottery, which can be used after a professional introduction. The same concept as mentioned above is transferred to our students theatergroups, who decide on their own which theater they´d like to play next; once again the cairo team reduces its influence to organisational support. Other rooms of the Cairo are provided for dancing, theater and sports. Three stages were built to give space for rehearsings and performances.

One of the biggest events at the Cairo is the Improvisationtheater-Festival, which celebrates ist 10th anniversary in 2011. On four days over 100 attendants from all over Europe participate in one or more of those classes that are offered on the whole weekend; in the evening there are several theater performances on different stages that are arranged all over our little cosy town Würzburg.

The Cairo plays an active role in organising the Umsonst und Draussen Festival in Würzburg, which is one of the biggest open-air-festivals in southern germany, as well as it supports the international movie-weekend.
