Over coffee and cake, we invite you to a chat with this year’s WESTWIND selection committee

What impressions were they left with after touring 39 potential plays? Which moments have been burnt into their memory? And what trends are emerging in the field of theatre for young audiences?

Felix Herfs, Paul Davis Newgate and Leonie Rohlfing, who comprise this year’s selection committee, reviewed all of the productions submitted as candidates for the 2025 edition of Westwind Festival. Now they invite you to join them for a chat over coffee and cake. Together they will talk about what they experienced during their travels throughout NRW, what was particularly memorable and what themes stand out in the submitted productions.

In addition to the panel’s insights, all participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, engage in dialogue and join in the debate.
