Bernd Perplies was born in Wiesbaden on the last day of February in 1977. After finishing school, he went to university in Mainz and thus demonstrated early on his interest in international relations. Against the common opinion of the inhabitants of the left and right side of this stretch of the Rhine river that there's something wrong with people on the "other side", he actually thinks you live just fine in either city. And that's why he never moved away.

"Don't freeze up!" - the theatre group disziplinLOS from Kaarst in Germany shows us what IMPROVISATION THEATRE means!

Improv theatre is spontaneous, nothing is rehearsed.
Neither the audience nor the actors know the ending of the story. Everything is created while it happens. Improv theatre is interactive. The audience sets the stage. The viewers govern where and what topic is being performed, which story is being told.
