ImproEM 2024: stadium atmosphere in the theater
In reference to and in preparation for the UEFA EURO 2024, the first official ImproEM (Impro Theater European Masters) will take place in Munich from April 18 to May 19, 2024.
The best improv groups from 18 European countries will meet there and improvise their way into the hearts of the audience and towards the final. Each team consists of three outstanding improvisers. On well-known theater stages in the city, they develop stories, create characters and create unforgettable moments in front of the audience. Referees ensure compliance with the rules, which are closely based on football.
The football metaphor is also used on stage: The teams are given jerseys, yellow and red cards are hopefully rarely drawn and in the end it's all about the big trophy. All on the famous pitch, of course. Only in a theater. The common language on stage will be English.
The competitions will take place all over the city. Munich becomes the playing field. The audience sets the themes, the improv players react at lightning speed to new ideas and impulses. Ultimately, the audience will decide who wins or loses.
Tickets are available on the official website of the ImproEM.

Improv theater with intercultural supporting program
The ImproEM shows all take place on renowned theater stages in order to make the public even more aware of the art form. 
To underline the motto "Long live diversity", the improv shows will be accompanied by an intercultural supporting program. For example, drag queens, a Bulgarian choir and the Rainbow Sound Orchestra Munich will perform in the respective supporting program.
The ImproEM will also be making an important contribution to the European debate and will be making its presence felt. On May 5, for example, a gondola of the giant Umadum Ferris wheel will be used by improv artists as part of the European May in Munich.
