Green Cycles combines three program focuses between June and July 2025, dedicated to social and ecological sustainability on the Zollverein Coal Mine Site and at PACT Zollverein. Using a variety of means, they bring the management of planetary resources into the national and international spotlight.
The thematic focus will open with the German premiere of Brazilian choreographer Lia Rodrigues' production ›Borda‹. The Green Culture Festival 2025, dedicated to the handprint of culture, will follow in June. Green Cycles will conclude in July with ›Shifting Grounds‹. The transdisciplinary summer and outdoor festival on extraction and regeneration at the Zollverein Coal Mine slag heap will take place for the first time this year.
