Ballet Factory Emden – MOMO Open Air

Ballet Factory Emden as an Ensemble

Ballet Factory Emden is an established dance school and a producing ballet ensemble in the port city. With annual stage productions at the Festspielhaus am Wall, the ensemble has carved out a firm place in Emden's cultural landscape. The repertoire ranges from classical ballet and modern dance to literary-inspired dance narratives.

MOMO as a Dance Subject

Michael Ende's novel MOMO (1973) is one of the most important works of 20th-century German-language children's and adult literature. The story of the girl Momo, who, with her ability to listen, confronts the Men in Grey of the Time Savings Bank, is a classic of socially critical fantasy. Its translation into a choreographic language of movement offers diverse possibilities.

Performance Day June 25, 2026

On June 25, 2026, the production will be shown in a matinee and an evening performance at the Festspielhaus am Wall. The exact start times and ticket prices will be announced by Kulturevents Emden, the organizer and venue. The performance is integrated as part of the Emden Summer of Culture 2026.
